Atlanta Falcons linebacker Vic Beasley picked a great time to submit the game of his career.
Beasley recorded a career-high 3.5 sacks and two forced fumbles against the defending Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos, helping his team record a 23-16 victory.
Selected eighth overall in the 2015 NFL Draft, Beasley amassed four sacks during his rookie year. Prior to Sunday's game, Beasley racked up one sack through four games, and it's quite possible that his performance against the Broncos ends up being his breakout contest.
