NFL Week 1 features record scoring as Bears top Panthers

The NFL's Week 1 showcased explosive scoring, totaling 750 points across 15 games through Sunday. The Bears led with a record-setting 59-37 victory over the Panthers in Charlotte, combining for 96 points, a new Week 1 high. Other notable performances included the Ravens scoring 41 points and the Vikings contributing 39, despite losing their starting quarterback, Kyler Murray, to a concussion. The scoring surge follows a sluggish start in earlier prime-time games and reflects a trend favoring offensive play. The Broncos and Chiefs will conclude the week with a Monday night matchup.
