Unbelievable Super Bowl Moments: The Longest Plays That Changed Football Forever
Longest Rush: Willie Parker, 75 yards, on Feb. 5, 2006
Parkerâs touchdown run in Super Bowl XL is the definition of âIt only takes one.â
On his nine other runs on the day, Parker ran for just 18 yards, and his lone catch was a 1-yard reception. But on the second play from scrimmage in the second half, Parker burst through a hole on the right side and took it 75 yards for the score.
The Pittsburgh Steelers desperately needed it too, as Ben Roethlisberger struggled for most of the day, and the team was clinging to a 7-3 halftime lead over the Seattle Seahawks. Roethlisberger completed just 9 of 21 passes for 123 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions.
