He also still holds a share of the NFL single-game record with seven touchdown passes. Kapp played in the Canadian Football League, leading the British Columbia Lions to their first Grey Cup title in 1964. He was also a head coach at the University of California, Berkeley, where his team pulled off "The Play" in 1982.
