Mercer and Stenerud Boost Chiefs Bid for 1966 Title
The Kansas City Chiefs rebuilt their title push by acquiring place kicker Mike Mercer from Buffalo after the fourth game of 1966 and by adding Norwegian Jan Stenerud as potential long term kicker. Mercer connected on 20 of 26 field goals and 33 of 35 extra points in 12 games before returning to Buffalo, while Stenerud, a Montana State graduate, shows strong leg strength and kicking potential in Kansas City practices.
