In his only NFL regular season game, this American-born placekicker kicked two extra points, but missed all three of his field goal attempts. His team won, however. It was the 7th game of the season (in a 16-game season). The previous placekicker and the placekicker who replaced him were European-born. What was the game and who is the American-born kicker and the other two European-born kickers?
The game was the Saints' 14-7 win over the 49ers in 1978. The American kicker was Tom Jurich. The kicker he replaced was Richie Szaro, and the kicker who immediately succeeded him was Steve Mike-Mayer.
Correct, for the record, Szaro was born in Poland and Mike-Mayer in Hungary.
