The total average number of points scored in each game came in at 52.6; which was the highest of the season. The lowest was in Week 1 at 36.6. New York and Dallas combined for the most points with 76 in the Giants 41-35 win over the Cowboys. The least amount of points scored was 31 in Washington’s 17-14 win over Chicago.
