Chicago Bears: Longest play in NFL history

Hey, not bad for a team known for having a rotten offense. Of course it was a special teams play.

Nathan Vasher set sail on a blustery day at Soldier Field.

Vasher returned a missed field goal 108 yards Sunday, the longest play in NFL history, and the Chicago Bears beat the San Francisco 49ers 17-9 for their fifth straight victory.

When Joe Nedney's 52-yard attempt went wide right in a stiff wind on the final play of the first half, Vasher caught the ball over his shoulder, hesitated momentarily on whether to come out of the end zone, sprinted to the 15, then reversed his field, picking up a convoy of blockers.
