GREEN BAY, Wis. – The hole that Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. allegedly put in a wall at Lambeau Field after the Green Bay Packers' wild-card win Sunday will eventually be repaired, but the Packers won’t say whether they’ll bill the Giants for the damage.
Beckham finished with just four catches for 28 yards and dropped a pair of passes -- including a potential touchdown -- in the Packers’ 38-13 win. The hole had not been fixed as of noon Monday, but like the damage a Chicago Bears player caused here in the visiting locker room after a 2008 loss to the Packers, it is expected to be repaired.
Before the Packers fix it, however, they might want to consider other options. Here are some of the best we’ve seen: From former Packers executive Andrew Brandt:

One fan suggested that it become an homage to the Packers cornerback who covered Beckham for most of the game:
Have Ladarius Gunter sign it and put a glass case around it. https://t.co/mqVuez8xgD

Another believes it belongs in the Packers Hall of Fame museum:

That's similar to what the Golden State Warriors did in 2007 when Dirk Nowitzki put a hole in a wall at Golden State's Oracle Arena after the Dallas Mavericks were upset in a playoff series.
The Warriors covered the hole in plexiglass and had Nowitzki autograph it. Maybe the Packers can follow their lead. And our own Katherine Terrell, who covers the Bengals, believes it deserves a nickname:
@RobDemovsky How has nobody come up with a nickname for this incident yet? Something that doesn't end with gate.
