Vic Beasley botches celebration after great defensive play (Video)
Vic Beasley made a great defensive play that resulted in a touchdown for the Falcons. However, the celebration wasn’t quite as good.
Late in the third quarter of Sunday’s game between the Falcons and Rams, Vic Beasley came around the edge and hit Jared Goff to force a fumble. The Atlanta linebacker then recovered the ball and ran it back 21 yards for a touchdown. Upon reaching the end zone, it looked as though Beasley was going to dunk the ball over the goal post in celebration. That, however, did not happen.

After the game, Beasley said his legs didn’t go along with the plan.
