In his final season as a Colt, Mackey played in Super Bowl V on January 17, 1971. He was involved in a famous game-changing play where he caught a record-setting 75 yard pass from quarterback Johnny Unitas after the ball was deflected twice, once by fellow Colts player Eddie Hinton and once by opposing Dallas Cowboys defenseman Mel Renfro. Baltimore won the game 16–13, following a 32-yard field goal by Jim O'Brien with five seconds left.

A five-time Pro Bowler, Mackey was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1992, the 2nd pure tight end elected.

This Wilson official NFL football was signed in silver by Mackey and inscribed, "Best of Luck Winner!" "Balto. Colts" and "HOF 92." This item includes a Great Moments COA.

This football also includes a case with the Colts logo on it that lights up.

*** The case will only be included for local pick up ***
