Likely speaking for many of his New York Giants teammates, superstar wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. took to twitter Friday to support embattled quarterback Eli Manning.
Looking ahead to Sunday’s big home game against NFC East rival Dallas, OBJ sent the following message out.
I CANNNNT waitt to be back in Met Life Sunday . It’s time to get this train back on the right track. 10…. leadddd the way brotha. We all support you.

Manning’s epic streak of 210 straight NFL starts was recently broken by recently released Giants coach Ben McAdoo’s decision to start Geno Smith last week. A move that likely cost him his job.
The veteran gets to start a new streak this Sunday. And we should see an overwhelming show of support from fans, current and former players alike as they show up en masse to support Manning, whose jersey sales have been soaring.
Heading into Week 14 the Giants have managed just two wins all year, but Manning’s return could be just the thing they need to galvanize the team and finish in non-embarrassing fashion.
Even if New York is well out of the playoff hunt, the players and coaches can get some satisfaction by knocking the Cowboys out of the race too.
