WATCH: Atlanta Falcons defenders Vic Beasley, Deion Jones team up for a pick-six

Beasley's heads-up deflection created a gift opportunity for the linebacker Jones, who easily collected his third career touchdown.

Covering the last two home games, the Atlanta Falcons defense has more touchdowns (two) than the offense (one).

(UPDATE: Matt Ryan just scored on a 1-yard plunge to even up the 'touchdowns' tally from above.)

That doesn't speak very well of the Falcons' sluggish offense during this five-game losing skid; but it also paints the defense in a better light.

On Sunday, linebacker Deion Jones benefited from Vic Beasley's heads-up/hands-up pass deflection off Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen ... cruising in for a 41-yard pick-six in the first quarter.

At the time, Atlanta was trailing 7-0 and offering very little entertainment to the red-clad masses at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Jones' INT/TD return marked his third career touchdown. On the flip side, it also represented the rookie Rosen's fourth pick-six of his young career.

Here's the clip of the Beasley-to-Jones touchdown:
