Football Points-a-plenty: NFL has its highest-scoring week

[GotGibson?]

The 80 points scored by New Orleans and Green Bay in the Saints' 51-29 win Monday night put the NFL over 800 points in a weekend for the first time.

The total of 837 points was the most ever in a single weekend, breaking the mark of 788. That was done three times: Sept 5-9, 2002; Dec. 5-6, 2004 and Dec. 29-30, 2007.

The average NFL game last weekend had 52.31 points per game. The average is the most since 52.57 in Week 6 of the 1987 season (there were 736 total points scored in 14 games that week).

An average of 45 points have been scored in NFL games this season. If that holds, it will top last season's average of 43.4 and the record average in the 31 seasons of a 16-game schedule: 43.7 points in 1983.
