Miami Dolphins score 70 points vs. Broncos in record day
MIAMI -- In one of the most lopsided games in NFL history, the Dolphins pummeled the Denver Broncos 70-20 as the league's best offense went berserk in its home opener.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed his first 17 passes and finished 23-of-26 for 309 yards and 4 touchdowns by the time he was pulled one play into the fourth quarter. He finished the game with more incompletions (3) than the Dolphins had empty drives (2). The point total marked a new franchise record and the most points any NFL team has scored since the Bears scored 73 against Washington in 1940.
The eye-popping stats from the win were plentiful.
