D.J. Moore did everything by himself on one of the Carolina Panthers’ scoring drives Saturday. Moore made great catches on back-to-back plays, with the second resulting in six points.

Moore’s first catch was a 47-yard strike from QB Sam Darnold. On the very next play Moore received a five-yard TD pass from Darnold.

Moore has had to deal with a revolving door of quarterbacks this season. Darnold, Baker Mayfield, P.J. Walker, and Jacob Eason have all thrown the ball for Carolina this season.

The Carolina Panthers took Moore out of Maryland in the 1st round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Moore has spent time the entirety of his NFL career with the Panthers.

Heading into the game Moore had 678 yards receiving with 5 touchdowns on the year.

The NFC South is extremely close with three teams coming into Week 16 at 5-9. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lead the division at the moment at 6-8.
