A penalty marker flew as he made the catch - for pass interference on [[Brandon Carr]], who had been covering Beckham on that play.

Beckham also topped 1,000 yards receiving for the season. In both cases, this was achieved despite Beckham missing the first four games of the season. This game was also infamous for a ~~benches~~bench-clearing brawl in the second quarter. Because the Rams moved to Los Angeles in 2016, this is the last time the Giants played in St. Louis.
