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.

The longest College Football game was in 2001 when Arkansas defeated Mississippi 58-56 in 7 overtimes.

That was the longest NFL game, but the longest PROfootball game every played was when the LA Express beat Mich Panthers 27-21 in USFL playoffs. The game lasted 93 minutes 33 seconds

It was a 7 overtime college football game with Mississippi and Arkansas 73 68

For professional football, it was a USFL playoff game between the LA Express (quarterbacked by Steve Young) and the Michigan Panthers. The game went into a 4th sudden death overtime periods (that's nearly 8 full quarters total, game lasting nearly 6 hours), when punt returner Mel Grey won the game for the express by returning a Panthers punt for a touchdown; Mel Grey broke his arm in the process.

The 1971 AFC divisional playoff game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins, played on Christmas Day, was a seesaw battle of touchdowns and field goals that didn't end until halfway through a second overtime period. The marathon game lasted eighty-two minutes and forty seconds and by all accounts was one of the most exciting games ever played.
