While he was known for his play on defense, for two games in 1975 he was called upon to fill-in for injured Kicker Chester Marcol. In four extra point attempts, Pureifory was successful twice;. In 1978, Pureifory left the Packers and played seven games for the Cincinnati Bengals, but went to the Detroit Lions mid-season as a free agent. It was in Detroit where he saw his greatest success, starting every game he played there, and winning Detroit's Most Valuable Defensive Player honors in 1980. While having one of his best seasons in 1982, Pureifory sustained leg injuries that ended his NFL career. Nonetheless, he later played with the Michigan Panthers and Birmingham Stallions of the United States Football League. He attended Eastern Michigan University, and in 1981 was elected to Eastern Michigan’s Athletic Hall of Fame. He died March 5, 2009, from pancreatic cancer at the age of 59.
