Week 1 Scoring Explosion Threatens Historic NFL Record
TL;DR
Week 1 has produced a scoring surge on pace to set a historic NFL mark after 750 points (50.0 per game), potentially surpassing 2012’s pace; the Bears’ 59-37 win over the Panthers with 552 yards led the onslaught, and 10 of 30 teams have already reached 30+ points, leaving Monday night’s Broncos-Chiefs showdown to decide whether the record is sealed (they’d need 42 combined points).
