I did not realize Rahim Moore made the same mistake a few weeks prior to the Ravens game blunder

The Play

 

It was late in the fourth quarter, and the Broncos were on the verge of victory. Moore backed up in the secondary; his mission was to let no receiver get behind him. The quarterback took the snap and immediately felt pressure, stepping up into the pocket to escape it. He heaved the ball high into the air, deep down the right sideline. Moore was in clear range of the intended receiver, but instead stepped a few yards in front of him. He was playing the ball, not the man. However, Moore had misjudged the pass; it was going to carry behind him. At the last second, he leapt into the air and… tipped it barely enough to to deflect the potential touchdown to Vincent Jackson. “This is risky business here,” said Fox commentator John Lynch as he watched the replay of the safety’s unorthodox approach. Moore seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as he walked back to the line of scrimmage. He’d dodged a bullet.

 

As you can tell, that was not the play that most fans now associate with Moore. The play we just described occurred when the Broncos hosted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers back in Week 13. With 3:42 left in the game and an 18-point lead, Moore’s pass defensed virtually sealed the victory for Denver. But it wasn’t a smart play. In his haste to make a game-ending interception, Moore nearly gave up a touchdown that would have brought new life to a desperate opponent. Six weeks later, against the Ravens, he found himself in the same position. He unwisely took the same approach, and this time faced disastrous results. Sometimes, an innocuous incompletion in November can foretell a history-altering touchdown in January. What do they say about those who don’t learn from history?

Never realized, never seen brought up, of course Denver Post and web sites say played well all year save for the 1 play we all remember

 

He made immense strides last year, hopefully he learned his weakness and will take care of it appropriately

That is interesting. The only thing is in the playoff game he kind of cheated up on the inside receiver which allowed Jones to get behind him. I didn't think he was playing the ball vs. the receiver on that play like he apparently was in the TB game. He was just trying to catch Jones who he let get behind him on a play that a DB should never let happen.
