One of the loudest cheers Saturday at MetLife Stadium came in between two nondescript second-quarter carries by Dante Miller. 

What happened? Odell Beckham Jr. checked into the game for the Giants for the first time since Dec. 2, 2018. 

“It was everything I was expecting it to be,” Beckham told The Post after the Giants lost 13-10 to the Vikings in the preseason opener. “Just the love to be able to be back here in a place I’ve done special things. It was a special moment with a lot of emotions going into it, so you kind of have to check them and make sure you don’t burn too much energy too early.” 

Making his first appearance in a Giants uniform since he was still a phenom, Beckham soaked in the pregame juice as fans shouted his name in the corner of the end zone where he caught passes and bobbed his head during warmups. He ran over and hugged his son, who is part of the inspiration for his return to the Giants and the family message that “Beckhams Don’t Quit.”
