The longest game in NFL history was a playoff game between the Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs on December 25, 1971. The game went one full overtime period and 7:40 into the second before Garo Yepremian kicked a field goal to give Miami a 27-24 victory.
Regular season NFL games have a 15 minute sudden death overtime. The Michigan Panthers against the Los Angeles Express is actually the longest professional game ever, whom played 3 overtimes in the first-round playoff game . The Panthers took a 21-13 lead in the fourth quarter, only to have future Hall of Famer Steve Young throw a touchdown pass, then personally score the two-point conversion to knot the game at 21 with 52 seconds remaining. The Panthers had chances to win the game in both the first and second overtimes, but normally reliable kicker Novo Bojovic missed field goals each time. Finally, in the third overtime, rookie Mel Gray (who would later play for the Detroit Lions) ran 24 yards to give LA a 27-21 victory, ending pro football's longest day after 93 minutes and 33 seconds of play time.
