Tony Dorsett of the Dallas Cowboys. They were playing Minnesota on Monday Night Football. Minnesota punts the ball and downs it at the 1" line. Yes is said 1 inch line. Actually they call it the 1 yard line. The 1st play from scrimmage is a handoff to Dorsett up the middle and the rest is history He runs all the way for a touchdown. The unique thing about this record is it can never be beaten, only tied. The ball was technically at the 1yard line. You cannot run from scrimmage any further than 99 yards. Go Cowboys for ever!!!!
