October 2nd, 1983 - Jim Plunkett connects with Speedy Wide Receiver Cliff Branch for a 99 yard touchdown, during a 37-35 loss to the Washington Redskins. It was Cliff’s only catch of the game. The Raiders would get their revenge though in Super Bowl XVIII following the season, where they ran all over Washington in a 38-9 rout. Cliff had 94 yards on 6 catches, including a TD in the big game.

Wanna know how fast Cliff was, he was 35 years old when he caught that pass from Plunkett at the 35 and took it the rest of the way for one of only thirteen 99 Yard Touchdown Pass Plays in NFL History. R.I.P. Cliff.
