The highest-scoring NFL game ever was the New York Jets vs. the Baltimore Colts in 1972. The Jets won, 41-0.
The highest scoring game in NFL history is the New York Jets vs. the Baltimore Colts in 1968
The New York Jets defeated the Baltimore Colts, 16-7, in Super Bowl III on January 12, 1969. It was the first AFL-NFL World Championship Game in history. But before that, the two teams met in what was then the highest scoring game in NFL history.
On December 16, 1968, the Colts and Jets played to a surprisingly high score of 41-14. The game was a rematch of sorts from earlier in the season when the Colts had trounced the Jets, 37-0. But this time, it was the Jets who were dominant, behind quarterback Joe Namath’s three touchdown passes.
The 41 points scored by the Jets were a record for most points scored by one team in an NFL game at that time. It would stand as a record until 1972 when the Miami Dolphins scored 42 points against the New England Patriots. The Dolphins’ record would stand for nearly two decades until 1995 when the San Francisco 49ers scored 44 points against the Los Angeles Rams.
The game was played on December 16th, 1968
On December 16th, 1968, the New York Jets defeated the Baltimore Colts by a score of 34-16 in what is widely considered to be the most important game in AFL history. The victory validated the upstart league and established the Jets as one of the most dominant teams of their era.
The final score was Jets 50, Colts 14
On Monday Night Football in 1968, the New York Jets destroyed the Baltimore Colts by a score of 50-14. The game was so lopsided that it caused Colts owner Carroll Rosenbloom to trade his entire team the following offseason. The game has been considered one of the worst NFL games ever played.
The game was played at the Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California
The game was played at the Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California, on December 18, 1983. The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Washington Redskins by a score of 51–45. This is still the highest scoring game in NFL history, as well as the only game in which both teams scored at least 45 points.
The game was attended by 79,204 people
The game was played on November 27, 1966, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The attendance was 79,204, which is the second-largest crowd to ever watch an NFL game. The Rams defeated the Baltimore Colts by a score of 34-10.
