This week on LIVING IT LOUD: Rich Karlis was a placekicker for nine seasons for the Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings, and Detroit Lions in the NFL from 1982 to 1990. He played college football for the Cincinnati Bearcats and is known as the last of the field goal kickers who kicked barefoot full-time in the NFL.
Karlis is best known for kicking the game-winning field goal in overtime for Denver against the Cleveland Browns in the 1986 AFC Championship Game to reach Super Bowl XXI. This game is best remembered for The Drive in Cleveland and Denver sports lore when the Broncos drove 98 yards in 15 plays to tie the game with 37 seconds left in regulation and Rich kicked the game-winning 33-yard field goal 5:48 into overtime.
Currently the owner of Barefoot Bronco Woodworking, Rich now enjoys creating custom cutting boards, charcuterie boards and other handmade wood items.
