Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Cooper Beebe is coming after the Los Angeles Chargers over a clip posted to the team’s X account. Beebe claimed that video was edited in a way to “make me seem racist,” and the Chargers deleted their original post not long after his response.

The Cowboys and Chargers faced each other Sunday in a Week 16 matchup, and the clip in question came from that game. Beebe, who plays center, was getting ready to snap the ball when he appeared to exchange some words with LA linebacker Daiyan Henley.

Henley was wearing a microphone and accused Beebe of calling him a “bad word” prior to the play. The Cowboys offensive lineman was flagged for a false start mere seconds later as Henley clapped and told him it was “instant karma.”

It’s unclear exactly what Beebe said because the Chargers bleeped out the word. However, the offensive lineman offered his own explanation, saying that he was just calling out a play and the clip was misleading.

“Literally Said Hole R? That’s our call vs Abby front,” he wrote. “Imagine bleeping out what I said to make me seem racist. You guys are POS @chargers.”

The penalty from Beebe ended up being a costly one as Dallas turned it over on downs two plays later. The Cowboys went on to lose 34-17 and fall to 6-8-1 on the season.

Cooper Beebe was a third-round pick out of Kansas State in the 2024 NFL Draft. He has started all 25 games he has played for the team since then.

Now that the offensive lineman has set the record straight, it will be interesting to see whether there is any response from either the Chargers or Henley. It would definitely be good to get some additional context on what was actually said from the only people who know.

As for the Cowboys, they have already been eliminated from playoff contention for the second straight season. They have a matchup against the Washington Commanders in Week 17 before closing out the season against the New York Giants.

The Chargers find themselves in a much different position as they can officially clinch a playoff spot if the Indianapolis Colts lose against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday. LA has an 11-4 record as is one game behind the Denver Broncos for first place in the AFC West with two weeks to go. They face the Houston Texans in Week 17.
