NFL teams started the season playing very well.

Week 1 had one of the most points in league history.

The Bears beat Carolina 59-37.

That was three points away from Atlanta's old record.

That record was 53 years old.

That game had 1,030 total yards.

It also had the most points ever in a first game.

The two teams scored 96 points together.

Josh Allen led the Bills to a 36-31 win at Houston.

In 2025, the Texans let up the second-fewest points.

They also let up the fewest yards.

Allen threw for 334 yards.

Buffalo scored on eight of 11 drives.

Then they kneeled down to win.

It was Joe Brady's first game as coach.

Ten teams scored more than 30 points.

Six teams had at least 24 points in the first half.

Thirteen quarterbacks had a passer rating over 100.

Bears coach Ben Johnson set a team goal.

He wants to break the NFL record for most points in a season.

He said Chicago can still get better.

They scored touchdowns on their last four drives.

But he still wants more.

"There's still a number of things on there that I didn't love just from the sideline perspective," Johnson said.

Before Monday night's Broncos-Chiefs game, teams had 750 points together.

The Week 1 record is 791 points.

That was set in 2012.

Caleb Williams played like a top player in his second season.

He is in Johnson's offense.

Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry and the Ravens won 41-23 at Indianapolis.

It was coach Jesse Minter's first win.

The Giants beat Dallas 28-20.

It was their first game under new coach John Harbaugh.

They held the ball for almost 37 minutes.

The Cardinals had the biggest surprise of the week.

They won 26-14 at the Chargers.
