Coincidence?

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. wore cleats featuring the video game character Kirby on Sunday in his game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Beckham had a huge game, picking up 222 receiving yards and two big-time, second-half touchdowns that helped the Giants hold on to a 27-23 win that came down to the wire. 222 receiving yards was a career-best for the NFL standout, who entered the league in the 2014 season.

The cleats, which also feature other Kirby imagery like trees and stars, are probably going to lead to a fine, something Beckham acknowledged in his Instagram post. "Let's hope the fines ain't krazyy," he wrote.

As ESPN reminds us, Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins wore cleats designed by Kanye West in a game and was fined $6,000.

Beckham was on the cover of Madden NFL 16, beating out New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski for the spot. Gronkowski didn't have to wait too long for his time, however, as he's the cover star for Madden NFL 17.

Beckham also made one of the greatest catches you will ever see. It's always impressive.
