The Miami Dolphins made history on Sunday, setting a record for the most points scored in an NFL game since 1966 with a 70-20 win over the Denver Broncos. The Dolphins’ 70 points are the most scored by any team since the 1966 Baltimore Colts put up 72 against the Atlanta Falcons.
The Dolphins offense was unstoppable, scoring on their first eight possessions of the game. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for three touchdowns and ran for another, while wide receiver DeVante Parker had two touchdown receptions and running back Myles Gaskin ran for two more. The Dolphins defense also contributed to the record-setting win, forcing four turnovers and holding the Broncos to just 20 points.
The Dolphins’ 70 points are the most scored by any team in a single game since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970. It’s also the most points scored by any team in a single game since the AFL-NFL merger in 1966. The previous record of 69 points was set by the Los Angeles Rams in a 1969 game against the Atlanta Falcons.
The Dolphins’ record-setting performance was a testament to their offensive firepower and defensive prowess. It was also a reminder of just how dominant the Dolphins can be when they’re firing on all cylinders. With their win over the Broncos, the Dolphins have now won four straight games and are firmly in control of the AFC East division.
The Dolphins have a lot to be proud of after their record-setting win over the Broncos. Not only did they set a new record for most points scored in an NFL game since 1966, but they also showed that they can be a force to be reckoned with in the AFC East. If they can continue to play at this level, they could be a serious contender for the Super Bowl this season.
