Giants' McAdoo will ask NFL to review potential missed calls on Beckham

New York Giants head coach Ben McAdoo is going to bat for his superstar wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., following Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

McAdoo believes Beckham was consistently defended illegally throughout the contest, and will send a formal request for review to the league office.

"I would say I thought there were a few times (Sunday) that he may have been interfered with," McAdoo said Monday to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. "But that is part of the process. We're going to send it in to New York and to the officials (in the NFL office) and let them take a look at it and get some feedback from it and some clarification."

Beckham caught 10 passes for 100 yards on 16 targets, but the Giants were unable to extend a six-game winning streak.

McAdoo said that the Giants can't choose who referees their games and will move on from the loss, despite his imminent request to the NFL office.

"We don't have control over any of that, and we have a process to gain clarification on calls that are made during the course of a game," McAdoo said. "We're going to get plenty of use out of that process this week and, other than that, we need to focus on what we can control and learn from this game and prepare for the next."
