Broncos vs. Chiefs could break Week 1 scoring record Monday night

As of now, the Broncos and Chiefs matchup on Monday night is poised to set a record for scoring in Week 1. A total of 750 points have been scored across the first 15 games of the NFL season, just 41 points shy of the all-time Week 1 record. Should the teams combine for 42 or more points, the record will be established. Mike Tomlin, in his first Week 1 absent as a head coach since 2006, discussed how current practices focus more on skill and less on physicality, impacting the style of play. The NFL has adjusted rules to favor high-scoring games, indicating a significant statistic release is expected following the matchup.
