The Tampa Bay Buccaneers struck first scoring on their initial drive of the game on a 28-yard field goal by Chase McLaughlin to give them a 3-0 lead over the Philadelphia Eagles. After a quick stop by the defense, the Bucs were back out on the field. 

On the first play, a false start penalty backed the offense up five yards. The team quickly made up for it with a dart from quarterback Baker Mayfield to wide receiver David Morre for 22 yards. Two plays later the pair linked up again, this time for a 44-yard catch and run for a touchdown. 

Moore displayed some of his moves juing an Eagles defender long enough to keep in place to break free for six. After a successful point after attempt, the Buccaneers took an early first-quarter lead 10-0.

Moore signed with the Bucs in the offseason and was with the team through training camp. After roster cutdowns, he signed back on with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice squad. He remained there until an injury to Rakim Jarrett in the San Francisco 49ers game and was placed on injured reserve. 

Moore was elevated to the active roster from the practice squad for the next three games. He signed on to the active roster prior to the Packers game and had his coming out party with a 52-yard touchdown reception.
