Playing career
editAs an undrafted rookie out of Arizona State, Moyer played in all sixteen games with one start in 1983.[2] The only interception return for a touchdown of his career occurred in week 3, from 19 yards out at the Kingdome in a 34–31 victory over the San Diego Chargers.[3] Late in the fourth quarter of Seattle's 1986 game at New England in Sullivan Stadium, Moyer recovered a blocked punt in the end zone for a touchdown to tie the game at 31; the Seahawks' offense found the end zone a minute later for a 38–31 win.[4]
In 1988, Moyer started all sixteen games and led the team with six interceptions. A neck injury ended his career in November 1989,[5] and he served as an assistant coach for the next five years.[1]
Moyer played in 98 NFL games with 30 starts, with career totals of 11 interceptions, eight fumble recoveries, and four sacks.
