New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau feels like he let everyone down in the final moments of Thursday night’s 31-34 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
With about 30 seconds remaining in the match at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, the 26-year-old was completely alone in the pay zone on a third try. Quarterback Derek Carr’s throw was perfect, but Moreau was unable to complete the catch.
“It’s difficult,” said the player, whose comments were reported by the ESPN network. It happened in front of every man, woman and child I know. This is a dark moment. It’s the NFL. It’s not played on a single play, but it was played on a single play.”
“The team fought to the best of their ability, and this is simply unacceptable. It’s pathetic,” he added of his missed catch.
After this blunder, the Saints (3-4) tried to score on the fourth try and came up short. This allowed the Jaguars (5-2) to end the game in possession of the ball.
Moreau’s last year was marked by trials. This past offseason, he was diagnosed with cancer. Saints doctors found he had Hodgkin’s lymphoma during an exam during his hiring process in March. Two months later, he signed a three-year contract worth $12 million with the New Orleans club. He announced he was in complete remission in July.
