Not that any of us remember those warm, happy days. His other came in the blowout victory over the Houston Texans in Week 4.
At this stage, the loss doesn’t matter a whole lot. It’s better to be safe and protect Moore from any further injury. While the Falcons aren’t mathematically out of the race for playoffs, it would take an extremely unlikely set of circumstances for it to happen. And yes, that includes the Falcons winning a game.
The other big news of the day was of course with the announcement that wide receiver Leonard Hankerson, who was previously on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, has been released. What does this mean for the Falcons’ future at the wide receiver position? Well, it would appear they feel Hankerson wasn’t the right man to fill the No. 2 role.
