Distractions are only a problem when you are losing.

That's what New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning generally reasoned when discussing teammate Odell Beckham Jr. on WFAN 660 on Monday, as Paul Schwartz of the New York Post shared:

"They took the 'you' and thought it was me, but I was talking about you," Manning clarified on Tuesday, per Tom Rock of Newsday.

"I get asked about him a lot," Manning added on Tuesday, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN. "I'm not trying to comment."

Manning added that his message to Beckham is "Just play football. Keep making plays. Do your thing," per Raanan.

Beckham finished with eight catches for 222 yards and two touchdowns in New York's 27-23 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, including a go-ahead 66-yard touchdown with 1:24 remaining in the game.

However, he received a 15-yard unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty for taking off his helmet after the score, giving Baltimore better field position on its final drive.

While the penalty gave the Ravens better field position and a chance to take the lead, the Giants defense held on to secure the win and improve to 3-3 on the season.

Bleacher Report's Jason Cole reported Tuesday that the Giants feel referees are taking a harder look at Beckham than others:

Beckham also continued his bizarre relationship with the kicking net on the sideline, as Jay Busbee of Yahoo Sports documented.

"I think the net has played its part," Manning said on Tuesday, per Raanan. "Think we can move on from that personally."

While his quarterback may be willing to overlook the issue as long as the team is winning, head coach Ben McAdoo doesn't want any part of it, per Kimberly Jones of NFL Network:

In September, McAdoo said the receiver needs to be "less of a distraction to his teammates," per Schwartz.

Beckham, who ranks fifth in the NFL with 581 receiving yards, is again among the best pass-catchers in the league, but his antics remain an issue.
