Odell Beckham Jr. Fined $9K for Conduct vs. Buffalo Bills

After video appeared to show New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. punching Buffalo Bills safety Duke Williams in New York's Week 4 victory, OBJ was fined by the NFL for his actions Wednesday.

According to ESPN.com's Dan Graziano, the second-year wideout was docked roughly $9,000 for the strike, which he was not penalized for during the game.  

Beckham said he will appeal the fine, per Paul Schwartz of the New York Post.

Following Buffalo's loss, several Bills defensive players accused Beckham of throwing punches and acting in an unsportsmanlike manner.

"It's tough to walk the line" between aggression and retaliation especially "when they target you," Beckham said, per Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News.

"I'm not that worried about it," Beckham continued, via Ebenezer Samuel of the New York Daily News. "Controlling my emotions is not my concern."

Giants head coach Tom Coughlin didn't advocate Beckham's actions when asked about them Wednesday, per Graziano:

According to Tyler Dunne of the Buffalo News, Williams was especially upset because he was on the receiving end of Beckham's punch.

"

A guy like that, you expect him to be a stand-up guy but I guess it is a part of his game. He likes to throw cheap shots here and there and gets away with it. I guess it's his thing. ... Right in front of the referee and he threw a jab at me and ran behind his teammates. He ran away. I'm just like, 'Wow. That's crazy.'

"

Bills cornerback Stephon Gilmore also chimed in and questioned Beckham's tactics, per Dunne:

"

I don't know what's up with him. He acts like nobody's supposed to hit him and you're supposed to let him catch the ball. He's weird. He gets mad when you play physical with him. He's weird. He's different. It's kind of like you're playing your little brother and he gets mad at you for being too physical with him—throwing a tantrum. I'm like, 'Man, we're playing football. It's a physical game.' ... He's a prima donna. He feels like he's on top of the world and nobody's supposed to do anything to him.

"

The G-Men won the game 24-10, but Beckham may have been frustrated as Gilmore and rookie corner Ronald Darby combined to keep him in check to the tune of five catches for 38 yards.

While the reaction may have cost Beckham a $9,000 check, the fine would likely be little consolation for the Bills after the in-game officials failed to do anything about it.
