Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. seeks payback against RamsAlden Gonzalez
ESPN Staff Writer
The Los Angeles Rams would probably like to forget the last time they were in London, but here's a reminder anyway: It was Oct. 28, 2012, and ended in a 45-7 thrashing at the hands of the New England Patriots, which gave the Rams a third straight loss right before their bye week.
Now the Rams find themselves in a very similar scenario, looking to avoid a third straight loss before their bye week while sitting at 3-3 for the fourth time in five years under Jeff Fisher. They'll face a New York Giants team that is also 3-3 and avoided a fourth straight loss Sunday with a 27-23 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Kickoff from Twickenham Stadium will be 6:30 a.m. PT, so set your alarms accordingly.

OFFENSE
WR Odell Beckham Jr.: The explosive wide receiver finally broke out after being close on several occasions through the first five games of the season. Beckham had four catches of 40-plus yards in the second half against the Ravens, and finished with a career-best 222 yards receiving and two touchdowns. History says Beckham will follow up with another strong effort. The Giants’ top playmaker had six multi-touchdown games in his first two professional seasons. He posted four 100-yard efforts the following weeks, with three of the four topping 140 yards. His outing against the Ravens could be the start of a hot streak for one of the league’s top wide receivers. Beckham showed again Sunday he’s capable of burning defenders deep or taking a short pass and racking up yards after the catch. He just has to prove he can keep his cool. The Rams roughed him up the last time they met in 2014, and it eventually sparked an on-field brawl.
