The Biggest Football Score in NFL History

The biggest football score in NFL history occurred on Sunday, November 27, 1966 in a game between the Washington Redskins and the New York Giants. The teams combined for 113 total points in a game that matched arch rivals. The Redskins won 72-41, and were accused of running up the score.

With seven seconds remaining and the game already won, the Redskins sent kicker Charlie Gogolak onto the field to kick a 29 yard field goal to push the score to 72-41.
When Redskins coach Otto Graham was asked by reporters after the game why he had sent the kicker out to attempt that last field goal, he responded by saying "he needed the practice."
