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.
Answer
Cromartie's "run" is actually a return, and since the question specified "run", Tony Dorsett is the correct answer.
As of 2011, there have been eleven 99-yard TD passes in NFL history:
Frank Filchock to Andy Farkas - 1939
George Izo to Bobby Mitchell - 1963
Karl Sweetan to Pat Studstill - 1966
Sonny Jurgensen to Gerry Allen - 1968
Jim Plunkett to Cliff Branch - 1983
Ron Jaworski to Mike Quick - 1985
Stan Humphries to Tony Martin - 1994
Brett Favre to Robert Brooks - 1995
Trent Green to Mark Boerigter - 2002
Jeff Garcia to Andre Davis - 2004
Gus Frerotte to Bernard Berrian - 2008
