Deonte Banks Seals Giants' 36-24 Win With 98-Yard Pick-Six, Lifting New York to 3-1

Q: Who holds the only game-ending interception return record longer than Deonte Banks' dramatic 98-yard touchdown?

Brock Marion holds the only longer game-ending interception return record. Banks’ 98-yard interception return touchdown for the Giants was identified as the second-longest touchdown with 00:00 left on the clock since the NFL-AFL merger. The only longer one was Marion’s 100-yard return for the Miami Dolphins against the Buffalo Bills on Jan. 6, 2002. That makes Marion’s play the record-holder, with Banks’ dramatic return now trailing it by two yards.
