Moore finished the day with six catches for 156 yards and a score, but a pair of critical mistakes undid what would have been a game-winning touchdown in the games’ final seconds. The first mistake occurred on the Panthers’ penultimate offensive drive of regulation, when he couldn’t pull in a P.J. Walker pass that would have converted fourth-and-17 from the Carolina’s own 18-yard line. The Falcons took over on downs leading 31-28....
