The Redskins did not help this cause. From the NFL…
Monday night’s 51-29 win by New Orleans over Green Bay boosted the NFL to the first 800-point weekend in its history. A total of 837 points were scored in the league’s 16 Week 12 games, the most ever in a single NFL weekend.
The previous record was 788 points, set three times (September 5, 8-9, 2002; December 5-6, 2004; and December 29-30, 2007).
Games this season are averaging 45.0 points. If that average holds, it would top last season’s average of 43.4 and the record average since the 16-game schedule was instituted in 1978 of 43.7 points per game in 1983.
