Tony Dorsett of the Dallas Cowboys scored a 99 yard rushing touchdown on January 3, 1983 against the Minnesota Vikings.
This was the latest one up until Sunday November 4th 2007 when Antonio Cromartie of the San Diego Chargers scored a 109 yard rushing touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings.
It has to be something with the Vikings and there defensive players!
Note that the question simply asks what is the longest touchdown run, it does not specify whether it is a rushing touchdown (offense) or receiving touchdown (defense). Therefore, Antonio Cromartie owns this record, not Tony Dorsett.
Cromartie's "run" is actually a return, and since the question specified "run", Tony Dorsett is the correct answer.
