In six seasons with the Eskimos, Moon played in 94 games, threw for 21,228 yards and 144 touchdowns, playing with and against many Clan football alumni.
in 1984, he returned to the U.S. to play for the NFL’s Houston Oilers. Moon set a new club record with 3,338 yards passing in his first year with the Houston, a mark he would break four more times. In 1990, Moon led the NFL with 4,689 passing yards. He also led the league in attempts (584), completions (362), and touchdowns (33), and tied Dan Marino’s record with nine 300-yard games in a season. In 1991, he again led the league in passing yards 4,690. At the same time, he joined Hall of Fame quarterbacks Dan Marino and Dan Fouts as the only quarterbacks to post back-to-back 4,000-yard seasons. Moon also established new NFL records that season with 655 attempts and 404 completions.
Moon was traded to the Minnesota Vikings before the 1994 season. In his debut season he passed for 4,264 yards and led the team to the playoffs.

Moon moved on to the Seattle Seahawks as a free agent in 1997 where the veteran star set franchise records for completions (313) and yards passing (3,678) and earned his ninth Pro Bowl selection. In 1999, Moon joined the Kansas City Chiefs and spent two seasons as a backup there before retiring.
