THE LONGEST PRO FOOTBALL GAME EVER PLAYED : 'Twas Christmas, '71, When Dolphins Sleighed Chiefs in 2nd Overtime, 27-24 THE LONGEST PRO FOOTBALL GAME EVER PLAYED : 'Twas Christmas, '71, When Dolphins Sleighed Chiefs in 2nd Overtime, 27-24.

But in this case, length of game was measured in much, much more than simply elapsed time.
