ONE OF THE WORST GAFFES IN NFL HISTORY

Viking Jim Marshall ran the wrong way 55 years ago this week

On October 25, 1964, after recovering a fumble against the 49ers
in San Francisco, Minnesota Vikings star defensive end
Jim
Marshall ran 66 yards the wrong way
into his own end zone.

The four-year veteran believes he has scored a touchdown, so
he throws the ball out of bounds in celebration, resulting in a
safety for San Francisco and putting an exclamation point on
one of the worst blunders in NFL history. Despite Marshall’s
error, the Vikings win, 27-22.

“It was the nuttiest thing I’d ever seen,” said Vikings offensive
tackle Grady Alderman.
 


Marshall recovers the fumble (1) before running
in the wrong direction (2).
