Let’s break down some of Moore’s key plays…

1st quarter, 4:14. 2nd-and-12 from the Colts’ 45-yard line, as the Jets trail 7-0

The Jets lined up in a bunch set with three wide receivers and Mike White in the shotgun. Moore was the outside receiver on the left side with the slot receiver next to him and the veteran Xavier Rhodes gave him plenty of room in off-coverage. Moore ran a great route, breaking down at the top of his route stem and sharply cutting across the middle for a 26-yard catch down the field.

1st quarter, 3:37. 1st-and-10 from the Colts’ 19-yard line, as they trail 7-0

This was the very next snap from the same formation, apart from the running back was on the other side of the formation. Moore didn’t have to do much here, as the defense completely blew the coverage thanks to Jamison Crowder’s clear-out route. Moore ran an out-and-up and was all alone in the end zone. Notably, this was Moore’s first career touchdown catch, although he did score on an end around a few weeks ago.

3rd quarter, 3:07. 1st-and-10 from the Colts’ 19-yard line

This came from a similar formation to the last two plays, although this time Josh Johnson was under center and the slot receiver was on the other side of the formation, motioning across as the ball was snapped. Working against zone coverage, Moore used his speed to run a crosser into a soft spot in the defense. He also showed good balance to adjust to the throw and stay on his feet to get into the end zone.
