The NFL’s longest pass was thrown by one of the league’s most criticized quarterbacks: Jay Cutler.

While Cutler’s future with the Bears is in doubt, there’s no second-guessing his arm. As noted by PFT, NFL Next Gen Stats notes Cutler threw the longest pass in the league last season, coming in at more than 65 yards.

It came back in November against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and in the box score counted as a 50-yard touchdown. But the Hail Mary was actually 65 yards, starting from where Cutler threw the ball all the way to where it ended up getting caught, on the diagonal across the field.
