Odell Beckham Jr. may not have been on the field for the final whistle, but it was still an emotional moment for the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver.
In the aftermath of the Rams beating the Cincinnati Bengals, 23-20, to win Super Bowl LVI, cameras showed Beckham in tears as the game ended celebrating from the sideline — where he had remained since halftime.
Beckham was forced to leave the game with an apparent knee injury just before the first half.
Throughout the second half, the cameras continued to show a teary-eyed Beckham with his hood up watching from the sideline.
The wide receiver had already scored a touchdown to put the Rams up 7-0 in the first quarter but his absence was certainly missed in the second half as the Bengals managed to take the lead.

But Matthew Stafford led the Rams on a late fourth-quarter drive and found Cooper Kupp in the end zone for the game-winning score with 1:25 remaining.
Beckham, 29, began the season in Cleveland and after a tumultuous time there he was released and signed by the Rams in November.
Now, Beckham is a Super Bowl champion.
