Congress Prevails Over Capitol Police in Charity Football Game
The Longest Yard began in 2005 as a way to raise money for the Capitol Police Memorial Fund.
In this year’s game, the Mean Machine, made up of Members of Congress and former professional football players, beat the Capitol police Guards team 32-26. It was the first victory for the Members squad in the four times the game has been played to help raise money for charity.
