Bears-Panthers sets Week 1 scoring record

The Bears and Panthers combined for 96 points on Sunday, breaking the previous Week 1 record of 88 points set by the Buccaneers and Saints in 2018. Chicago's 59-37 victory was also the first NFL game to end with that exact score and marked the highest-scoring game for both franchises in their histories.

While impressive, this game did not break the all-time NFL scoring record of 105 points, which was set by the Rams and Chiefs in 2018. The Bears have previously scored more points in single games, including 61 points in regular season games during 1965 and 1980, and 73 points in the 1940 NFL championship game. likesport.biz
