It is the longest run from scrimmage in NFL history, and until they change the size of the field, it will remain that way (or tied at best). And the Cowboys had only 10 players on the field. A mix-up in the huddle sent blocking back Ron Springs to the sidelines, which left the Cowboys with 10 players on the field and the ball at their own 1 (actually they were inside the 1, about midway between the endzone and the 1 yard line).
