Beckham Jr caught six passes for 101 yards against the Seattle SeahawksCleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr has criticised a "ridiculous" NFL fine after it was ruled his "pants failed to cover the knee area" during a game. The 26-year-old has been fined $14,037 (£10,848) for the "uniform violation" in Cleveland's 32-28 defeat by the Seattle Seahawks on 13 October. NFL rules state "pants must be worn over the entire knee area". The NFL says uniform rules help to "protect players from injury, maintain competitive balance, create a professional appearance and protect the league's business partnerships". In 2016, he was fined $18,231 (£14,089) for a uniform violation.
