Moore’s knack for ball, helped to spark turnaround

FLOWERY BRANCH – With the defense reeling early against Dallas, Falcons veteran safety William Moore stepped forward and helped to turn the game around.

With the Falcons down 21-7 and showing no signs of stopping the Cowboys, Moore intercepted an errant Brandon Weeden pass that was intended for tight end Jason Witten. He returned in 11 yards to Dallas’ 23 with 5:50 left in the second quarter.

“I was just trying to be spark,” Moore said.
