Falcons' Vic Beasley Jr. vows to keep pushing through 'frustrating' season

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons defensive end Vic Beasley Jr. is far from satisfied with his performance through 12 games.

Beasley knows expectations of him are higher than most, considering he was the eighth overall pick in the 2015 draft and had a league-best 15.5 sacks in 2016. But as of right now, Beasley has just three sacks and six quarterback hits with four games remaining in the 2018 season, although he did return a fumble 74 yards for a touchdown last week.

"There are expectations for certain people, and my expectations are to be a certain-caliber guy, a double-digit sack guy," Beasley said.
