No, it wasn’t the incorrect 1716-14 score as noted by a Fox Sports broadcast but rather there was not a single punt in the game. You’d have to think that was some type of record, correct? You’d be right as according to For The Win, this marked the second time in NFL history that a game didn’t involve at least one punt.

"The only previous time the NFL saw a no-punt affair was in 1992 when the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers played in Week 2. That was also a high-scoring affair, with the eventual AFC champions outlasting the Steve Young’s squad 34-31."

The Chicago Bears started the game off very hot though Aaron Rodgers led his Green Bay Packers back quickly and they couldn’t be stopped come the second quarter. The same couldn’t be said for Jay Cutler and his Chicago Bears as the didn’t score a single point in the second half.

Shockingly you would have assumed the Bears lack of success come the third and fourth quarter would have resulted in at least one punt but interceptions from Jay Cutler made the punt non-needed.

Silly stat or not, that’s really impressive considering there have been over 15,000 games played in NFL history.

The Green Bay Packers eventually won the contest by a score of 38 to 17.
