Atlanta Falcons rookie pass-rusher Vic Beasley acknowledged he made a foolish mistake in Sunday's 10-7 win against Tennessee by talking trash near the Titans' sideline rather than exiting the field after a late fourth-quarter, third-down stop, leading to a penalty.
The Falcons were whistled for 12 men on the field as Beasley was late jogging to the sideline. He tackled Titans running back Dexter McCluster after a 7-yard reception on third-and-16. Then Beasley proceeded to have an exchange with Titans players near their sideline, which led to him being delayed. The penalty gave the Titans a shorter fourth-down opportunity, although they failed to convert.
