what is the highest scoring nfl game

The highest-scoring NFL game ever recorded was a 1966 game between the Washington Redskins and the New York Giants, with a final score of 72-41 in favor of Washington. This game holds the record for the highest combined score ever recorded in a single NFL game, with a total of 113 points. The NFL has had a longer presence of high-scoring games in contrast to the NBA, which saw much higher scores after implementing a shot clock rule. As of the end of the 2021 season, four of the top 10 highest scores from regular-season games occurred in the pre-Super Bowl era. In addition, the Miami Dolphins became the third team in NFL history to score 70 or more points in a regular-season game in 2023.
