Claim: The 1962 Dallas Texans season was the second-longest game in pro football history with the Houston Oilers winning the 1962 AFL Championship.
Evidence: The Texans won their first AFL championship (and only title in Dallas) when they defeated their intrastate rivals, the two-time defending champion Houston Oilers, 20–17 in double overtime—a game which now stands as the second longest game in pro football history and the longest in AFL history.
