Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another deep dive into the world of sports! Today, I’m tackling a question that’s probably crossed every NFL fan’s mind at some point: who scored the most points in an NFL game? I mean, we’ve all seen some crazy scores, but which game takes the cake? Let’s find out together.
So, the first thing I did was hit up the internet, just like any curious person would. I started browsing through some sports websites. I figured, “Gotta start somewhere, right?” I wanted to get a general sense of what the highest-scoring games were.
I found some interesting stuff. A few names and scores started popping up. One name, in particular, caught my eye: the Washington Redskins. Turns out, they’re the ones who hold the record. Can you believe it?
Here’s what I did next:
- I started to look specifically for information about the Washington Redskins’ highest-scoring game.
- I read through several articles, trying to piece together the story.
- I even dug into some historical data. I know, right? Going full-on research mode!
The Big Reveal
After digging through all that information, I finally found the answer. The Washington Redskins scored a mind-blowing 72 points in a single game. It happened on November 27, against the Giants. 72 points! I mean, that’s just insane.
The Chicago Bears also scored 73 points in a single game but the opponent team is 0, which is a big difference, right? So, Washington Redskins did this record.
Then, I found some more recent high-scoring games. For example, the Cincinnati Bengals once scored 58, and the Los Angeles Rams put up 54. Those are some serious numbers too. But still, they’re nowhere near 72.
I also noticed a bunch of names of players who’ve scored the most career points. One that stood out was Adam Vinatieri, a kicker with over 2,673 career points. That’s a lot of field goals and extra points!

It was a wild ride, folks. I went down some serious rabbit holes, but hey, that’s how you get to the bottom of things, right? I hope you enjoyed this little journey into NFL history as much as I did. Until next time, stay curious!
