The Arizona Cardinals waited for the last game of the season to have their longest play of the year. On the second play from scrimmage, quarterback David Blough threw the ball deep to receiver A.J. Green, who grabbed the ball between two defenders, broke a tackle and outran the other for a 77-yard touchdown.
It gave the Cardinals a 6-0 lead in the first quarter over the San Francisco 49ers.
Green entered the game with only 21 catches for 145 yards and a touchdown.
Watch the play.

Green might be playing in his final NFL game after two seasons. He will be a free agent after the season.
