Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Skyy Moore addressed the media after Friday’s preseason loss to the Seattle Seahawks, expressing his emotion after reaching the end zone during his 88-yard punt return touchdown late in the fourth quarter.
“It felt great, just showing that sense of resiliency. Obviously, I had two drops this game, and it felt like I was in my head after the first one”, said Moore, “To go back there and catch a punt return knowing my history of punt returns and take it back to the house. It meant a lot to me, this game, and a lot for my confidence. Just showing myself that you can’t lose if you keep going.”

Moore, who has played through multiple obstacles in his career over the last few seasons, described the difficulties of getting out of a negative headspace.
“It’s a physical game. Everything that I’ve got physically, God-gifted, is the reason I’m here. I feel like 90% of the game is mental. Everybody that plays in this league goes through those mental obstacles, I feel like it’s about how you do it,” said Moore, “Whether you win or lose, you just have to keep getting up and keep going. I feel like that’s the biggest thing people should take out of what went on today.
The two-time Super Bowl champion contributed mightily at the start of his career before battling injuries. Moore notably scored his first NFL touchdown in Kansas City’s victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII.
