As has become customary whenever a violent hit occurs in the NFL or a posterizing dunk takes place in basketball, Internet users took to Wikipedia to jokingly update the page of Miami Dolphins quarterback Matt Moore.
After Moore took a vicious hit while scrambling out of the pocket during Miami’s AFC wild-card playoff game on Sunday in Pittsburgh, his page was altered to show that the hit killed him. The editors even took the time to classify that Moore died “by [Steelers linebacker] Bud Dupree” under the personal information section of the page.
In addition to announcing his mock death, the language on Moore’s Wikipedia page was changed to the past tense.
