That was in 1963, I believe, in a game between the Minnesota Vikings and the San Francisco 49ers. Bill Kilmer was the 49er quarterback and he fumbled while being sacked in the backfield. Jim Marshall, Viking defensive end, picked up the ball and ran about 70 yards the wrong way into his own end zone for a safety against his team. What I will always remember about that play is after Marshall threw the ball towards the stands in elation after 'scoring' the safety, not realizing what he had done, 49er offensive tackle Bruce Bosley ran up to him and patted him on the shoulder as if to say, sarcastically, 'Great play, Jim!'.
