Ravens WR Odell Beckham Jr. discusses importance of late bye week

The Baltimore Ravens will have their bye in Week 13 of the NFL season, and it is much needed after a brutal 12 game stretch to start their year where they’ve managed to go 9-3. It will provide them a chance to get healthier and reset, which is much needed after the year they’ve had so far.

Baltimore wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. spoke about the bye week coming at a later time prior to the team’s Week 12 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He said that the bye came at a great time for the team, comparing it to the bye weeks that teams get earlier in the season.

“No. I think it’s great. To me, you look at the schedule and the way that the season went. To find a way to win this weekend and do the things we’ve been doing and to go in the bye week with that record and have a nice backstretch of the season with five games left, I think it couldn’t have come at a better time. Some teams get [the bye on] Week 4, and then you know you have a long season. To me personally, I think it’ll work out well for all of us. Everybody [will] stay healthy and find a way to win, and it came at a good time.”
