Alright, folks, let’s dive into something that got me curious the other day – what’s the highest-scoring game ever in the NFL? I mean, we all love a good blowout, right? So, I put on my detective hat and started digging.
My Little Research Journey
First things first, I fired up my trusty search engine. Gotta start somewhere, you know? I typed in something like “highest scoring NFL game” and boom – a whole bunch of articles and lists popped up.
I started clicking through, and boy, was there a lot of info. I felt like I was swimming in stats! I saw mentions of games from way back in the day, and some more recent ones too. It was kinda overwhelming, to be honest.

So, I decided to get a bit more organized. I grabbed a piece of paper (yeah, I’m old school like that) and started jotting down the games that kept popping up. You know, the ones that seemed to be the real contenders for the title.
- Washington Redskins vs. New York Giants (1966):This one kept appearing at the top.
- Some other games with crazy scores, but this 1966 game seemed to be the champ.
I focused on that Redskins-Giants game. Man, the score was wild! It ended up being 72-41. Can you believe that? 72 points! My handwriting is not good, that is the final result I wrote down.
Double-Checking My Facts(My Habit)
Now, I’m no expert, so I wanted to make sure I wasn’t getting fooled by some random website. I checked out a few different sources, you know, just to be safe. NFL’s official site, some sports news sites – the usual suspects. And yep, they all agreed: that 1966 game was the highest-scoring regular-season game ever.
So there you have it! After a bit of searching, note-taking, and double-checking, I felt pretty confident that I had the answer. It’s always fun to go down these little research rabbit holes, isn’t it?
