Panthers’ DJ Moore may have cost his team the game against the Falcons after he made a boneheaded mistake.
Late in the fourth quarter of the Panthers-Falcons game, Moore scored a game-tying TD but unfortunately took off his helmet to celebrate, resulting in a 15-yard penalty during the xtra point.

DJ Moore takes his helmet off after potentially catching gm winning TD. Will get unsportsmanlike conduct penalty now gm winning PAT isn’t a sure thing. Guys never get it.

The Panthers missed the ensuing xtra point, and the game went into overtime.
ironically, DJ Moore’s penalty pushed back this XP and made it a lot harder. and now it’s still a tie game https://t.co/s5Qga2TjXZ

DJ Moore makes an insane play to seemingly win the game at the end of the 4th quarter, but takes his helmet off celebrating and the Panthers miss the extra point because of the 15 yard penalty
