Mac Percival American Football

[caappy]

Mac L. Percival (born February 26, 1940 in Vernon, Texas) is a former American football placekicker in the National Football League. He entered the NFL as a walkon player with the Dallas Cowboys. He played for the Chicago Bears for seven seasons before re-joining the Cowboys during the 1974 season. During his tenure with the Bears, he scored 456 points. He is also the last Bears kicker to make five field goals in a game, which he accomplished against the Philadelphia Eagles on October 10, 1968 in a 29-16 win.

In 1968, the Bears were facing their longtime rival Green Bay Packers. With :26 remaining in the game with the score tied at 10–10, Bears returner Cecil Turner fair-caught a Packers punt at the Packers 43-yard line. The Bears decided to kick the game-winning kick as a fair catch kick, which has rarely been done before. Percival was able to make the 43-yarder to win the game. The kick was Percival's second game-winner, as he kicked a 47-yarder with :03 left against their rival in Minnesota to give the Bears a 26–24 win at Wrigley Field the week before.

1967–1973 Chicago Bears
