Odell Beckham Jr.'s first season with the Cleveland Browns isn't unfolding according to plan, but the star receiver is doing his best to maintain a positive attitude.

Over his last two games, Beckham amassed just four catches for 47 yards. Though the overall production hasn't met expectations, he remains focused on winning.

"Whatever (it takes) to win. I just want to help," he told reporters Thursday, according to Keith Britton of 92.3 The Fan. "I feel like I was brought here to help. If it has to be handoffs ... it's more about having success within the game, the team."

He added, "I hate losing, period. Anytime we lose and I don't feel like I did anything to help win the game, I'm going to be frustrated."

Asked about his recent struggles and the criticisms that come with them, the three-time Pro Bowl wideout responded that he would "just deal with it" and attempt to "do more when we do get an opportunity."

"I'm a big boy," Beckham said. "I can handle any criticism, any words that are said about me, anything. I'll take more on my plate. I'll take that responsibility 10 times out of 10."

Beckham's blockbuster trade to Cleveland from the New York Giants was among the highest-profile moves of the offseason. He battled hip injuries to begin the campaign and hasn't caught a touchdown pass since his standout Week 2 performance against the New York Jets.

The Browns' offense will look to rebound Sunday in a home matchup with the Seattle Seahawks.
