The Redskins put up 72 in 1966 when they beat the Giants 72-41. 

Established August 16, 1965; 58 years ago
First season: 1966. 

If Miami were established in 1965 and first season was 1966 they were  BAD  went. 3-11  scored the most points in a 29-28 WIN  over the also BAD  Houston Oilers. 

Oh their 3 wins were from the also  BAD  as Michael Jackson would say Denver Broncos and Houston Oilers (x2) in front of about 20,000 rabid fans.

That NFL high  73   points was done by George Halas back in the  1940s .     So it goes. 73, 72, 70, ... in all time highest NFL points.poiI believe. 

Some of these numbers need adjusted.    Just for the records  -but-  it makes for fun chit-chat.   

* EDIT !  It got my curiosity up,  here they are pre and post SUPER BOWL era.  (* with corrected data]

Most Points by One Team:

* Washington 72, New York Giants 41; Nov. 27, 1966 ( *not Miami) 

This previously mentioned shootout not only set the record for most combined points in a game, the Giants also set the mark for most points by one team during a regular-season game.

Pre-Super Bowl Era: Chicago Bears 73, Washington 0; Dec. 8, 1940

We’ll include this, but it was technically a playoff game before we had wild card, divisional rounds and everything else. The Bears lost to Washington 7-3 just a few weeks prior to the 1940 NFL Championship game, but it’s fair to say they flipped the script the second time around. Washington had nine turnovers and Chicago finished with 519 total yards. Just 119 of them were in the air (on 10 attempts) and Bill Osmanski rushed for a game-high 109 yards. 

Most Points by One Team in the 21st Century:

Miami Dolphins 70, Denver Broncos 20; Sept. 24, 2023

• 70 — Los Angeles Rams vs. Baltimore Colts (Oct. 22, 1950)
• 66 — Rochester Jeffersons vs. Fort Porter (Oct. 10, 1920)

Oh don't I know.. I'm down Waddle in my money fantasy league $ I have 3 choices...Should I play Tyler Lockett, DJ Moore or Elijah Moore ? 

edit-- I lost Nick Chubb -$$, so I'm counting on your guy Derrick Henry  

I'd play Tyler Lockett. Sooner or later Henry will produce 2 or 3 TDs in a game (Just not against the #1 defense in the NFL ?).

deserving post to get back on topic..

Mid November of last season the fins put up almost 40 on us (39) in Miami. They've only added a real rushing attack & a few tweaks to same WR's routes from what I'm seeing. Let's not forget Waddle ain't slow either & Tua is putting the ball on the ?

The most effective designs in countering Lamar actually haven't involved a spy, believe it or not. 

I can believe it.  If you can bottle him up in the pocket with pressure, that would be the ideal.  That is better than having 1 defender playing more or less neutral football unless Jackson starts to run, and even then, they have to be able to run with the guy.

If the DB's don't give him good targets and we apply pressure, that is the ticket, and this D can do that a good amount of the time.  I don't buy it when people say Jackson can't throw.  I do agree he isn't the best at hitting tight windows, especially under duress.  Keep the guy sweating.  We may or may not get the sacks, but we stand a good chance at having a shot at a few picks if the pressure gets him chucking the ball two feet  high or wide to either side.

I think we have a very good chance if we can limit rushing yards, no matter who runs the ball AND don't allow Andrews to go nuts on us.  I think Schwartz will have a very specific plan on how to deal with Andrews.  At least I hope so.

No doubt we will have to have somebody a good portion of the time acting as a spy on Jackson.  That or the ends will have to subdue a bit and play some contain of the edge.

Tom I'd strongly recommend you watch the Miami Offensive plays from Sunday. Innovative and proactive would be an understatement. Good Morning Football still talking about it as I type.

I thought the master of defense Bill Belicheck, showed Denver how to play against the fins offense only losing at home 24-17 the week prior.

I'll be betting on the Bills defensive HC Sean McDermott to use some of Belicheck's ideas to slow this offensive train down with better defensive talent than the effort-less donkeys showed.. 

Fins still have to play a Eagles,Cowboys,KC, both NY's, Bills(2) & Pats defense coming.. Note.. New Years eve.. Miami at Ravens.. that maybe AFC meaningful

What I see is a D that is now good enough to constantly apply pressure from the entire front 7 and rotate very good 2nd stringers so everyone stays fresh the entire game. Jackson will be forced into turnovers & throwaways IMO. We shall see.

 There is some cause for a degree of excitement about the defense.  Believe me, of all people here, I'm the most appreciative of what they've done. 

 That said, let's be realistic too. We've faced several bottom dwelling offenses with a common theme - weakness up front.   The Ravens present a bit of a step up.  But the good news is, the defenses that have had the most success against them structure a lot of what they do based on 5 man rushes.  Something Schwartz has been favoring the last 3 weeks.   Only drawback is that you can't just scream into gaps now, with Lamar you have to be mindful of him taking off in a heartbeat.  

 But the matchup on paper, both the Browns offense AND defense, likely makes them early favorites.

Replay of Denver - Miami game on NFL Network at 7 pm CDT this evening. 8pm Ohio time. All three of those speedsters (Mostert, Hill & Achane) have Olympic level speed. It was a one-sided track meet.

I still can't understand why SF would let Mostert walk... Him and Deebo were a force together with Breida right behind them... That was a great stable of backs.. Maybe economics played a part....

I guess that doesn't matter with having McCaffrey now....

Miami racked up 726 yards vs Denver Sunday.

The Browns defense in their first three games has allowed a combined 491 yards.

Not so fast my friend. I identified Garrett way back when he was a freshman for this defense. No one believes in defense more than I. Maybe equally. My mantra has always been to build one around Garrett. And I was just as excited as you that they did it from as soon as the season ended including replacing a not so good D coordinator. That old saying never has changed. Defense wins Championships. And now we have that kind of defense that brings fear and mistakes to opposing QBs.

The Browns haven't come out on top very often vs the Ratbirds, but usually play them tough. Lamar is like a waterbug, hard to catch lol.

We haven't seen DT rotation shutting down the running game since Micheal Dean Perry & Big Daddy Harrison did back in the 80's (w/Bob Golic)

Watching Mo Hurst lineup up next to Dalvin Tomlinson brings me some old flashbacks of watching both

Topic---Miami's speed kills skill-set, reminds me of what Raider Al Davis was trying to build in Oakland.. Miami used the trade/FA route.. Well Coached on offense

Thank you.  I was going to say something similar.

Glad 

Lol, yes idea that will remain my fantasy football team name til I die.
 

    Regarding the hideous Broncos & Sean Payton, how does he have any credibility moving forward?
 

    He blamed Nathaniel Hackett for all of the team's troubles publicly, then HIS Broncos give up 726 yards & 70 points. 
 

    I'd say the seat is very very hot out west.

The Broncos are potentially in an absolute abomination of a scenario. A coach you got $100 million tied up with who seems like he should have stayed retired. A QB (who actually is playing better) but certainly isn't living up to a massive contract that isn't easy, at all, to get out of. I'll be very interested to see how the Payton sage unfolds- never been a huge fan of the dude and methinks he was a bit of a better coach with an all-time great QB, who knew?

On the other side, as my whole extended family are Dolphins fans I watched the first two games intently. Man, what can you say- their offense is hypnotic to watch. The accuracy and precision of the routes is just absurd, and the speed on the team is incredible. Their defense is good enough (around 20th in the NFL) for me to say they are the best team in the NFL right now. I've never seen a team just move the ball at absolute will like this in a long time.

I had my doubts about the little midget running the show but.. He's shown consistency thus far.. He's the anti-Kyler Murray... The kid works hard,, He's articulate. And he shows heart and guile... Things you just can't measure right off... While being taller is certainly an advantage.. It by no means should be the rule...
