Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore explained his thought process when he scored a touchdown and removed his helmet celebrating the game-tying score.
touchdown catch from P.J. Walker with a few seconds left in the game tied it up. But he took off his helmet during the celebration and cost his team 15 yards on the PAT. Eddy Pineiro missed the kick and the Panthers would later lose in overtime to the Atlanta Falcons, 37-34.
Moore tried to explain his excitement in the moment of a big game in which the extra point would’ve put them on top of the NFC South."It was a natural reaction, but you’ve still got to know you can’t do that, especially with the time left on the clock," Moore said."I had a post, and they started scrambling. I didn’t see the ball in the air yet and seen him launch it and reaccelerated and just made a play. After that, I just remember the flag and the ref coming up to me.
Pineiro blamed himself for the loss as well. He had a chance to win the game in overtime but missed the field goal.
