The Boston Redskins had a 14:03 drive during the third game of the 1935 season against the Chicago Bears. Sammy Baugh ran for 56 yards and passed for 49, as the 'skins scored on their 23rd play of the drive

Sammy Baugh did not play in the NFL until 1937

the Saints had a REALLY long one probably like 5 or 6 years back. they didn't score on it, IIRC...a blocked field goal. i remember laughing my arse off as it was happening.

ETA: found it...Saints vs Panthers, Oct 7, 2006 -- 24 plays, 93 yards, 10:22 off the clock, and culminating in a blocked 20-yard FG.

This is weird and sort of on-topic...overall time of possession.

2009 - Colts 27 vs. Miami 23

Miami time of possession - 45 minutes.
Colts time of possession - 14 minutes, 53 seconds.

Colts had the ball for 5 1/2 minutes in the second half and the game was tied 13-13 at halftime.

Miami converted 15 of 21 third-down chances.
Miami ran 84 plays to Indianapolis' 35, and didn't turn the ball over until the game's final play.
