Moore's two tackles for loss against Buffalo came with less than five minutes to play in the game as Seattle was holding onto a six-point lead. He brought down the Bills' McCoy for a loss of two on third-and-long to help force a Buffalo punt, and later stuffed McCoy for minus-1 just before the two-minute warning.

"It was one of those things where you're sitting at home and you're waiting for a call and once you finally get a call, you start thinking if you're ready," Moore said. "You've been out of the game too long and I've been preparing. All I can do is go out there and play to the best of my abilities. The guys here welcomed me with open arms and I was able to learn the scheme."

Added defensive end Frank Clark of Moore's first action in Seahawks blue and green: "He played his heart out. At the end of the day, for him to come in and not know the program or the system, we have to take the lead and have him follow us. He did a great job of that."

Carroll said the Seahawks worked out Moore earlier this season, but weren't able to make a move to add him to the roster until last week. Thus far, the early returns have worked in Seattle's favor.

"That's just a stupendous job by [general manager] John [Schneider] to figure that out and find that guy for us," Carroll said. "Because he helped us tonight."
