Former Maryland star DJ Moore posts dominant 1st half vs. Texans on Thursday Night Football
Former Maryland star DJ Moore is establishing himself as a No. 1 receiver in the NFL.
Moore went off in the first half vs. Houston on Thursday night, catching six passes for 100 yards. He didn’t find the end zone himself, but he moved the chains multiple times for the Panthers in the first half and helped them to a 7-6 lead at the break.
Attention: DJ Moore already has 6 catches for 100 yards.
That is all. #KeepPounding @idjmoore

Moore is in his fourth NFL season with the Panthers. Last year, he caught 66 passes for 1,193 yards and 4 touchdowns.
The former Terrapin appears well on his way to his third consecutive 1,000+ yard campaign. He cleared 1,100 yards in each of the previous two seasons.
Moore is getting good support from new Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold, who was acquired from the Jets this offseason. Darnold threw for 158 yards and scored a rushing TD in the first half vs. Houston.
Here’s some of the best reaction to Moore’s dominant first half vs. the Texans on Thursday Night Football:
DJ Moore is the most underrated WR in football.
You all might wanna start paying attention.
