Bears-Panthers Sets Week 1 Scoring Record

Published September 13, 2026 · Updated September 13, 2026 · NBC Sports

The Chicago Bears' 59-37 road victory over the Carolina Panthers set an NFL record for the highest-scoring Week 1 game in league history.

The Bears and Panthers combined for 96 points, surpassing the previous Week 1 record of 88 points set by the Buccaneers' 48-40 win over the Saints in 2018. This was also the first NFL game to end with a 59-37 score.

While the 96 points marked the highest-scoring Week 1 game, it wasn't the most points the Bears have ever scored in a game. Chicago previously put up 61 points in regular season games during 1965 and 1980, and scored 73 points in the 1940 NFL championship game. forumteam.blog
