  • The ‘66 Redskins own the record for the most points by one NFL team.
  • In 2023, the Dolphins came within two points of Washington’s record.
  • Including the Dolphins, three teams have scored 60 points alone since 2011.

The 1966 Washington Redskins hold the record for the most points scored by one team in an NFL game. 

Washington scored 72 points against the New York Giants on Nov. 27, 1966. That benchmark leads the ‘23 Dolphins by two points. 

Miami scored 70 points against the Denver Broncos early in the 2023-24 season. 

It marked the first of two occurrences where a team cleared 60 that year. Later in the season, the Las Vegas Raiders scored 63 points on Thursday Night Football against the Chargers. 

Dating back to the 2010 NFL season, three teams notched at least 60 points. Along with the Dolphins and Raiders, the 2011 Saints scored 62 against the Indianapolis Colts. 

Below is a list of the 15 teams with the most points scored in a single game.
