It's a 99-yard catch, from a line of scrimmage inside the offense's 1-yard line.

Through 2013, 13 players have caught passes for 99 yards (run and catch). The only time two were caught in one season was in 2011, when both the New York Giants and the New England Patriots had 99-yard receptions, and the teams then met in Super Bowl XLVI.

Receivers and Quarterbacks for 99-yard pass plays:

Andy Farkas (from Frank Filchock, Washington Redskins) October 15, 1939

Bobby Mitchell (from George Izo, Washington Redskins) September 15, 1963

Pat Studstill (from Karl Sweetan, Detroit Lions) October 16, 1966
