Every NFL team has produced at least one 90-yard play from scrimmage. Some have several. From the NFL's two 99-yard runs to a host of long-range aerial strikes, here is every team's longest regular-season play.

Arizona Cardinals : Gaynell Tinsley (1938), Night Train Lane (1955), Ahmad Rashad (1972) Three Cardinals have dashed for 98-yard touchdowns, two coming during the franchise's Chicago years and Rashad's with St. Louis. While Lane and Rashad are better known, Tinsley cemented his status in Cards long-range lore by adding a 97-yard TD catch in 1937.



The 1937 draftee broke off the 98-yarder in the 1938 season finale. Lane is one of the best cornerbacks in NFL history, and one of the two catches he made in 1955 went for 98 yards. He also intercepted two passes in that Packers matchup.

Then known as Bobby Moore , Rashad evaded several Rams defenders on a cross-field TD scamper -- on a pass from Jim Hart -- one culminating with him fighting off what later became known as a horse-collar tackle. Atlanta Falcons : Michael Haynes (1993) Two years after Haynes scored a go-ahead 98-yard touchdown in a Falcons wild-card win over the Saints, the speedster vexed Atlanta's top rival again. A Week 2 matchup featured Haynes catching a fourth-quarter bomb from ex-Saints quarterback Bobby Hebert, who was playing his second game after signing in free agency.

Haynes scored twice in a 21-point fourth-quarter comeback, but the Saints still prevailed on a game-winning field goal from future Fal.
