With under 30 seconds remaining and Atlanta ahead 34-28, inexplicably Moore was allowed to get behind the Falcons defense and caught a touchdown pass to tie the game. However, in celebration he took off his helmet and threw it to the ground. In the NFL, that triggers an unsportsmanlike penalty. The Falcons chose to accept the penalty on the ensuing extra point attempt. So, instead of a chip shot to win the game 35-34, Carolina was pushed back to the 30 yard line and the extra point attempt was from the 48. Their kicker missed which has sent the game into overtime.
D J Moore just made a boneheaded play
