Odell Beckham Jr., Victor Cruz Comment on Giants' Miami Trip After Season Finale
Two days after images surfaced of an off-day trip to Miami, New York Giants wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Victor Cruz have turned their attention to the Green Bay Packers for Sunday's NFC Wild Card Game at Lambeau Field.
"I'm really more focused on the Packers and the Giants, so any of those questions—whenever you all want to sit down and have a little side-to-side, we could do that after the playoffs," Beckham told reporters Wednesday, per ESPN.com's Jordan Raanan.
Justin Witmondt of USA Today posted an image of Giants players on Twitter that caused the discussion around their extracurricular activities:

Beckham told ESPN's Josina Anderson (via Raanan) the team took a trip to Miami "to get our minds right," and it is "about to make a run, about to make a push; it's go time."
Cruz echoed his teammate's sentiments Wednesday, per Raanan: "I'm just here to talk about the Green Bay Packers and the matchup that we got coming up this week on Sunday afternoon. That's the only thing I'm worried about."
No one on the Giants has said anything bad about the trip. Quarterback Eli Manning even joked about the situation:
"As a team we kind of always pride ourselves on being well prepared, so when I saw some of those pictures, I was a little disappointed because obviously they didn't pack accordingly. They didn't have any shirts, all long pants, no shorts, no flip-flops or anything. So I was disappointed in their packing and not being prepared for that situation.
"
Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon told Anderson he doesn't "think it is a distraction at all. Once we get to work, we are at work."
Given the heightened nature of the NFL postseason, not to mention the additional media attention that comes with the New York market, the trip to Miami was going to be a major topic of conversation once it got out.
"They showed up [Tuesday] ready to work. Had a good day of practice [Wednesday]," head coach Ben McAdoo told reporters.
It sounds like the Packers shouldn't start celebrating yet.
