On December 25, 1971, Garo Yepremian kicked a 37-yard field
goal in the second overtime of an AFC playoff game to give the
Miami Dolphins a 27-24 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in the
longest game in NFL history.
Game time elapsed for the Christmas contest: 82 minutes and
40 seconds.
"After I kicked the ball," Yepremian told reporters, "I look up
at the sky and thank God for giving me the chance to kick it."
Garabed Sarkis "Garo" Yepremian
(2 June 1944 – 15 May 2015)
