NFL career

Squirek is known for his interception in Super Bowl XVIII against the Washington Redskins: before the end of the first half, a Raiders drive stalled when Jim Plunkett's third down pass was incomplete, but Ray Guy's 27-yard punt pinned Washington at their own 12-yard line with 12 seconds left in the half. On the next play, Squirek intercepted Joe Theismann's screen pass and returned it for a touchdown to give the Raiders a 21–3 halftime lead. The Raiders went on to win, 38–9.

Retirement

Squirek has been living in the Cleveland area since his playing days, with his wife, Penny, and their two children, Jacob and Cassandra. Squirek runs a cleaning and janitorial service in that area.
