A guy named Butkus (1942-2023)

From the 1972 season, December 10,  Chicago Bears 21, Philadelphia Eagles 12.

This was a bad snap missed extra point, so Butkus scored 1 point (that's why Pat Summerall says singleton).

The offended Eagles player, 28, was named Bill Bradley.

Personally while the Bears had all time greats in the 1965-1973 seasons like Butkus (and Gale Sayers), I'd take the 2 Super Bowl wins of the Packers rather than the 2 winning seasons of the Bears.

I wonder if anyone ever called him Richard ?
