This month marks the 55th anniversary of the highest-scoring NFL game in history: a 113-point outburst from Washington and the New York Giants. On November 27, 1966, a Washington team led by Hall of Fame quarterback Sonny Jurgensen beat the Giants 72-41 in a game that featured 17 scoring plays.
In 2004, we saw a 106-point game. In 2018, a game hit 105. But only five games -- including the 113-pointer -- have ever broken the century mark, and none have come closer than within a touchdown and extra point of the record. But in a modern game that tilts toward offense, big plays are commonplace and back-and-forth scoring battles are weekly occurrences.
