Odell Beckham Jr celebrates 61-yard touchdown with Michael Jackson dance

In recent weeks, it has been NFL punters flaunting their dance moves on the field.
First it was the Oakland Raiders' Marquette King, followed by Indianapolis Colts veteran Pat McAfee giving the crowd his best Beyonce impression.
However, wide receivers are still the league's ultimate showmen and, on Sunday night, Odell Beckham Jr was keen to reclaim the crown.
Down 7-3 against the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Giants needed some magic to get their offence going. Beckham half dropped a simple catch on the previous drive, resulting in a field-goal conversion rather than a possible touchdown.
Keen to make up for his error, the third year wide out made a darting run cross-field, catching a pass from quarterback Eli Manning. From midfield, Beckham accelerated down the sideline for a 61-yard touchdown to hand his team the lead.
To celebrate his ninth touchdown of the season, Beckham performed a Michael Jackson-style leg shuffle kick, before Moonwalking across the end zone.
It didn't stop when he left the pitch, as OBJ continued to wave regally to the crowd.
The Giants held on to win the game 10-7, improving their season record to 9-4 and strengthening their play-off chances.
