NYJ safety Marcus Maye, 104 yds vs. Denver 2018. Last play of the game. He zig-zagged all over the field and was finally tackled at the 1-yd line, so he probably actually ran 150 yds.
Correct and it was one hecka of a hustle play by Sutton to bring him down

I'm still waiting on my prize (case of Labatts and double ring of kielbasa) for getting another one right a couple weeks ago.

Name the game...

When both these teams met, they went into the game with a combined 15 losses. This would be the second victory of the season for the winning team, and their HC for this win was not their HC at season's beginning; and this very season would be the only season that he would ever at all be an NFL HC.

Name the game....

- The head coach of the losing team in this game once was the head coach of the winning team earlier in his career.
- A hall of Fame running back ran for 3 TDs.
- A future teammate of James Lofton threw a TD pass.
- The winning QB was in his final NFL season.

Here's another...

Two of the HCs who I played for in my career are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The very first HC whom I played for would go on to muster a career total W-L %age at just above-300.

The first 2 TDs that I'd throw in my second-last season would be in a game against the team that'd end up winning-it-all at season's end; and one of those were thrown to a former member of that very team. Later on that season, I'd throw my very last TD pass of my career at a team that'd host a conference championship game the following year; and that TD would be caught by someone who'd be on a World Champ the year after that!

Who am I?
