Odell Beckham Jr. emerged as an MVP candidate in the early parts of Super Bowl LVI—grabbing an imperative first-down pass as well as the game’s first touchdown.
However, a devastating knee injury thwarted any such hopes late in the first half.

He walked gingerly to the sidelines with help and did not return before halftime; he was officially ruled out during the third quarter.
