WATCH: Odell Beckham Jr strikes first with a touchdown grab

Somebody give Odell senior a raise for getting junior out of Cleveland.

Well, that escalated quickly.

We have our first score of the Super Bowl and it belongs to former LSU Tigers wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

After punting the ball away on the very first possession of the game, the Los Angeles Rams took over on downs for their second shot at opening the game with a score. The team went six plays covering 50 yards for the first score. Facing third and three from the 17-yard line, Matthew Stafford found OBJ coming out of the slot for the opening score.

Thus far, Beckham has just the one reception but it couldn’t have been any bigger. The Rams take the early 7-0 with 6:26 to go in the first quarter of the Super Bowl.

Can he make two touchdowns?
