To be fair, defensive players don't have many opportunities to score touchdowns.

So it makes sense that when Falcons linebacker Vic Beasley Jr. forced a fumble and recovered it for a touchdown, the ensuing celebration didn't go as planned.

It looks like Beasley, who notched three sacks in Atlanta's 42-14 win, was going for a windmill dunk over the uprights.

But he didn't quite make it.

As it turns out, this was Beasley's first career touchdown, so we'll cut him some slack.

If he's planning to watch film and improve that part of his game, Beasley can look no further than LeBron James, who displayed a well-executed, fundamentally-sound windmill dunk a couple weeks ago.

NFL touchdown celebrations take practice. Beasley will get another opportunity some day, and he'll be ready.
