Chris Bahr


Christopher Kurt Bahr (born February 3, 1953) is an American former professional football and soccer player. He was a placekicker in the National Football League (NFL) and played as a midfielder in the North American Soccer League (NASL). Bahr switched football codes in 1976, and was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals, becoming their placekicker. He played four seasons for the Bengals before being acquired by the Oakland Raiders in 1980; he played for them for most of the 1980s, following them to Los Angeles in 1982, becoming a stalwart placekicker with them that saw him win two Super Bowl championships. He is the Raiders’ second all-time leader in scoring (817 points), and his 162 career field goals was a Raiders record until 2007 when it was surpassed by Sebastian Janikowski. Bahr kicked in two Raiders Super Bowl victories, (1981 and 1984). Perhaps his best year as a professional came in 1983, when he compiled a 78% field goal percentage. He finished his career with a strong season, kicking 17 field goals and 29 PATs for the San Diego Chargers in 1989.
