30 NFL records that could be broken this season

5. Eagles-Chiefs, Highest scoring game since Super Bowl I

The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs played an epic Super Bowl this past February. There were plenty of big plays, but the game was as high scoring as we all expected. The over/under on sportsbooks shot up to 51, and the game ended up being 38 to 35, a ridiculous 73 points. They were two points away from the highest-scoring Super Bowl ever.

This season, they’ll hit another milestone. There was one ridiculous game in 1966 where Washington score 72 points, but we’re ignoring that game because it happened before the first Super Bowl. The record we’re looking to beat is the one set by the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns in 2004.

In that game, Kelly Holcolm threw for five touchdowns, and Carson Palmer threw for four. There was offense from every angle, with all four quarters producing at least 16 points. The total score was 106, and that is the record the Eagles and Chiefs are looking to break.

They have every reason to shoot for it. There will be a lot on the line for both teams in this Nov. 20 matchup. Nothing will be certain for either, as we imagine the Cowboys and Chargers are still in the divisional race. Plus, we already established the Chiefs are going for the overall scoring record, so this will go a long way in helping them achieve that record.
