Straight-on into the Hall of Fame:

In the strike-shortened 1982 season, straight-on kicker Mark Moseley made 20 of 21 field goals, a then-record 95.2 success rate, and he became the only kicker to ever win the Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player.

Moseley won the Most Valuable Player Award during the strike-shortened 1982 season.

In the Washington Redskins’ 27-17 victory in Super Bowl XVII over the Miami Dolphins, Moseley kicked two field goals and was successful on all three of his extra point attempts. During the following season, he led the NFL in scoring with 161 points.

In 1986, the 38-year old Moseley was released by the Washington Redskins mid-season. He remains the Redskins’ all-time leading scorer with 1,207 points. He signed with the Cleveland Browns and retired at the end of the season, helping them win their divisional playoff game against the New York Jets with a game-winning field goal in double overtime.

In his career, Moseley was successful on 300 out of 457 attempts (65%), successful on 482 out of 512 extra points attempts (94%) and scored a total of 1,382 points.
