What's the NFL record for most points in a game? The Miami Dolphins nearly just broke it

The Miami Dolphins have joined the exclusive 70-point club. The Dolphins defeated the Denver Broncos 70-20 on Sunday, becoming just the third team in NFL history to score 70 or more points in a regular-season game, per StatMuse . The record for most points in a game is 72 points by Washington in 1966. The Dolphins had a chance to attempt a potential record-breaking field goal with roughly one minute remaining while facing fourth-and-14 from the Broncos 26-yard line, but head coach Mike McDaniel elected to have the team take a knee.
