Aside from a handful of snaps in the final minutes of the Week 1 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars — when the Kansas City Chiefs were leading 37-19 — it had been a long time since 35-year-old Matt Moore took meaningful snaps as an NFL quarterback.
690 days, to be exact.
A 10-year NFL veteran who had played in 50 games — including 30 starts — Moore hadn’t played in the NFL since his last season with the Miami Dolphins in 2017. He had spent the time since then as the quarterbacks coach at his alma mater: Hart High School in Santa Clarita, California.
