[1] In Super Bowl XVI (January 24, 1982), Bunz made one of the most famous tackles in NFL history.

On a critical 3rd-and-Goal from the 1-yard line, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Ken Anderson passed to Charles Alexander in the right flat, but Bunz came up fast, grabbed Alexander around the waist, and hurled him backward before he could break the plane of the goal line.

Had Bunz tackled Alexander low, his momentum certainly would have carried him into the end zone.

[4] Bunz is a lifelong Placer County resident who grew up in Roseville with his older siblings Ben and Dennis.

He retired from the Detroit Lions at age 30 after a contract dispute, and became a teacher at Sutter Middle School in Sacramento.
