Odell Beckham Jr.'s first game in the NFL culminated with a leaping fourth quarter touchdown to help the Giants rally for a 30-20 win over the Falcons at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.

It was the rookie's fourth and final catch of the day and gave New York (3-2) at 24-20 lead with ten minutes remaining. From there, the Giant-D contained Atlanta (2-3) enough and kept them out of the end zone.

Eli Manning had just 200 yards passing but threw a pair of TD's - one to Beckham and a first quarter 3-yard hook up with Rueben Randle. On the ground, Rashad Jennings piled up 55 yards on 10 carries but left the game with a knee injury in the second half. Andre Williams carried the load from there - 20 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown in the final minutes of the third quarter that cut the Falcons lead to 20-17.

Matt Ryan picked through the New York's secondary with 316 yards including a screen-play on third down to RB Antone Smith that turned into a 74-yard touchdown pushing the Falcons lead to 20-10. He connected with WR Julio Jones 11 times for 105 yards but most of that damage came in the first half.

The Giants take their three game winning streak to Philadelphia next Sunday Night (8:30 p.m. on WIBX 950) to play the NFC East leading Eagles (4-1). Atlanta will host Chicago next Sunday afternoon.
