Set back in 1983 it's the NFL record for the longest run from scrimmage, 99 yards set by Tony Dorsett. It can be tied(which will probably never happen either) but it can never be broken, unless the NFL increases the size of the field.


Did Dorsett tie someone when he made that run against the Vikings on Monday Night Football?

From the line of scrimmage on that play, the tip of the ball was almost touching the goal line.

By the way, the longest touchdown run by an NFL QB belongs to Kordell Stewart, who ran 80 yards for a score against the Panthers in, I think, 1996 or 1997.
