In a week where the Indianapolis Colts (6-4) needed a bounce back win, cornerback Kenny Moore rose to the occasion and had a great performance in the 33-13 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars (4-6).
The defense knew the Jaguars were going to come in throwing the ball heavily with the return of their starting quarterback Nick Foles. Foles hadn’t played since Week 1 against Kansas City.
Moore finished the day with a team leading eight total tackles, one sack, one tackle for a loss and a huge pass breakup on a fourth-down attempt.
That pass defended that came in the third quarter when Jacksonville went for it on fourth and four. Foles fired one to D.J. Chark on a corner route and Moore came out of nowhere to tip the ball away.
With Pierre Desir still out and Rock Ya-Sin getting hurt as well, Moore had to carry this secondary and did so flawlessly.
The Colts are now 6-4 and on top of the AFC South with a Texans loss. Hopefully, Moore can continue his success in the slot when the Colts travel to Houston for a huge divisional game.
