The last QB scramble of at least 46 yards was Alex Smith in 2017 Week 13 (70 yards)

With his 1st quarter score, Sam Darnold joined Lamar Jackson & Deshaun Watson as the only QBs with a 40+ yard rush TD in the last 5 seasons
His 46-yard rush TD was the longest rush TD by any player on #TNF since Derrick Henry's 99-yarder vs the Jaguars in Week 14, 2018
