Unbelievable Super Bowl Moments: The Longest Plays That Changed Football Forever
Longest Touchdown Pass: Jake Delhomme 85 yards to Muhsin Muhammad on Feb. 1, 2004
The last three minutes of the New England Patriots’ 32-29 Super Bowl XXXVIII win over the Carolina Panthers were a fitting end to a thrilling Super Bowl. There were three scores, including the game-winning 41-yard field goal by Adam Vinatieri with four seconds left.
But it was earlier in the fourth quarter that Delhomme and Muhammad made history. Muhammad burned defensive back Eugene Wilson easily, and Delhomme found him for the longest pass in Super Bowl history that gave the Panthers a short-lived 22-21 lead. The touchdown throw was part of a concerted attempt by Delhomme to go downfield for most of the game. He finished the game with a 48.5 completion percentage, but he threw for 323 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions. Unfortunately, it wasnât enough.
