The receiver's touchdown catch in Super Bowl XXXVIII is the longest throw play in game history. The pass was thrown 73 yards by Brett Favre of the Green Bay Packers to David Tyree of the New York Giants. The previous long score was set just three years earlier in Super Bowl XLVII between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers. A 47-yard field goal by Justin Tucker of the Ravens gave them a 3-0 lead over the 49ers. That kick was called back due to a false start, then replayed after a replay challenge from the 49ers, but it would still stand as the longest score in Super Bowl history until Favre and Tyree broke that mark with their long reception. There have been other long passes in NFL history, but none that have reached the end zone. The longest non-scoring play in NFL history is also by Brett Favre. He threw 70 yards to Donald Driver in a playoff game against the Green Bay Packers in 2009. That play took place during the fourth quarter of regulation time and resulted in a loss for the Vikings - they were defeated 17-14 by the Packers.
