The Baltimore Ravens are matched with the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14.

Baltimore remains in must-win mode, hoping to stay at the top of the AFC, while the Rams are surging, hoping to fight for a playoff spot.

While this game has playoff implications for both teams, another underlying storyline exists for one of the Ravens’ wide receivers.

This is a revenge game for Odell Beckham Jr., who played for the Rams when they won the Super Bowl in 2021.

Ahead of this matchup, Bridget Condon reported that John Harbaugh announced Beckham as a captain for this game.

As she points out, Beckham will face his former teammates at the coin toss.

This will allow him to connect with his old team while understanding that his primary goal in this game is to beat them.

Beckham’s role in the Ravens’ offense has varied weekly depending on their game plan and opponent.

This week, it wouldn’t be surprising if Beckham gets extra work; hoping to pour some salt in the wound for the Rams.

They didn’t bring him back after he tore his ACL in the title game, which might have rubbed him the wrong way.

Fans will be intrigued to see if Beckham can put up an extensive stat line against the Rams.

Beckham has just two games on the year with more than 50 yards, his biggest game being a 116-yard performance against the Cincinnati Bengals.

He and Lamar Jackson will work well together to try to stick it to his former team.
