The leading rusher in Green Bay Packers history has two of the team’s three touchdown runs of at least 90 yards, including each of the last two and also the longest touchdown run in team history.
It’s been a decade and a half since the Packers saw a player race 90 yards or more on a run and score.
The Packers’ last touchdown run of at least 90 yards? Ahman Green’s 90-yard score during the Packers’ Week 7 win over the Dallas Cowboys in 2004.
The touchdown came just a year after Green produced a 98-yard touchdown run, which is still the longest in team history.
Green’s score gave the Packers a 41-13 lead over the Cowboys at Lambeau Field on Oct. 24, 2004.
Green caught a pitch from Brett Favre moving to his left, cut upfield through an alley and raced down the far sideline with several Cowboys defenders trailing helplessly behind. The run was Green’s second touchdown and the Packers’ fifth of the game.
Green made four straight Pro Bowls between 2001 and 2004. He rushed for 8,322 yards and 54 touchdowns over eight seasons with the Packers.
Long runs have been recently elusive for the Packers. The team’s last run of at least 70 yards was Brandon Jackson’s 71-yard scamper in 2010. The career-long run by Aaron Jones, the Packers’ best bet to rip off a 90-yard score in 2020, is 67 yards.
