Mr. Moyer, I've been a Seahawks fan since 1976, and for most of that time, I was the only Seahawks fan I knew, because I grew up in Maine and never even visited the Pacific Northwest until my first (and so far, only) trip to Seattle in 2019. In 1984 and 1986, my dad took me down to Foxborough to see the Seahawks.
The first half of the '84 Seahawks game in Foxborough was pretty good. The second half, not so much. The day was still special for me because I got to go to an NFL game with my dad and I also got to tell my first childhood sports hero, Jim Zorn, to his face that I had had his autographed picture framed on my wall in Kennebunk, Maine for years. He was Krieg's backup at that point, but he was the player I was most thrilled to see in person.
The on-the-field result in the '86 game was better. I'm certain you remember it, but I'll describe it for fellow fans who either didn't see it at all or did see it, but don't remember a specific game from more than 37 years ago. The Seahawks game in Foxborough in '86 was a battle all day, with the Seahawks going up by seven early and falling behind by 10 points three times. The third time was in the fourth quarter, with the home team going up 31-21 on the Seahawks on a touchdown by Stanley Morgan with just a few minutes left in the game. After a Seahawks field goal, the game was tied again at 31 when the Seahawks blocked a punt and you, Mr. Moyer, recovered the ball in the end zone for a touchdown with just over two minutes left in the game (and Norm Johnson made the extra point). I was there, and I was one of the very few people in the stands who really enjoyed that moment.
For those who don't remember that game, the Seahawks even managed to score another touchdown in regulation, winning 38-31 without needing overtime.
