Bears-Panthers Sets NFL Week 1 Record

The Bears' 59-37 road victory over the Panthers set a new benchmark for Week 1 scoring with 96 combined points. This surpassed the previous record of 88 points set by the Buccaneers and Saints in 2018.

It was also the first time any NFL game ended with a 59-37 score. While this marked the highest combined points for both teams in their histories, it wasn't the most points the Bears have ever scored, as they previously had 61 in regular season games in 1965 and 1980, and 73 in the 1940 NFL championship game. betsport24.es
