Beanie Bishop Jr. made a heads up play on Thursday against the Cleveland Browns in the final minutes of the game. After the Browns converted on a critical third down to WR Jerry Jeudy, Bishop punched the ball out after Jeudy was seemingly untouched. That resulted in a rare defensive delay of game penalty. At first glance it looked like an act of frustration by Bishop, but he told reporters after the game that he thought the play was still live with Jeudy never getting downed by Joey Porter Jr. or Minkah Fitzpatrick.
