The Stop

As a linebacker for the 49ers in Super Bowl XVI, he made one of the most famous defensive tackles ever witnessed. On a critical 3rd-and-goal from the one yard line, Anderson passed to Charles Alexander in the right flat, but Bunz came up fast, grabbed the receiver around the waist, and hurled him backward before he could break the plane of the goal line. Had Bunz tackled him low, Alexander's momentum certainly would have carried him into the end zone.^[1] "The Stop" is regarded as "The Best Thing Witnessed On TV Ever".^{[citation needed]} He was a member of the San Francisco 49ers Super Bowl XVI and Super Bowl XIX winning teams.
