An NFL game with multiple touchdowns is always the most entertaining for fans, especially when the offenses of both teams continue to cause damage to the opponent in search of victory, which makes us think about what is the highest score in a single NFL football game.
The records for the most points scored by a single team and the highest combined score in an NFL game were set several decades ago and we remember them here.

The highest-scoring in a single NFL football game
This record belongs to the 1966 game between Washington and New York Giants, in which the New York franchise was the worst of the season, with a record of 1-12-1 and allowing 501 points. During the aforementioned game, Washington scored 72 points.
At the start of the game, Washington built a 34-7 lead for the first half and the Giants rallied in the second half with four touchdowns, which were not enough and the final score was 72-41.
Largest combined score in an NFL game
That same game between Washington and Giants has had the highest combined score in the league, with a total of 113 points. In 2004, Bengals and Browns came close to matching that mark with a 58-48 final score, combining for 106 points and Cincinnati’s victory.
Largest margin of victory in an NFL game
This record is shared by three teams in NFL history: the Browns beat Washington 62-3 by a 59-point margin in 1954, as did the Patriots in their 59-0 win over the Titans in 2009, and the Rams in their win over the Falcons in 1976.
