The Dolphins nearly dialed up a new NFL record for most points scored in a game during their 70-20 victory against the Broncos on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium.
In Miami’s lopsided victory, coach Mike McDaniel chose for his team to not eclipse the league’s scoring record of 73 points set by Chicago in 1940. (Washington’s 72-point performance against the Giants in 1966 is the record for the Super Bowl era.)
However, when Dolphins backup running back De’Von Achane burst through Denver’s defense for a 67-yard touchdown and the team’s final score of the contest, there was still nearly 8:00 remaining in regulation.
