What is the highest-scoring Super Bowl of all time?
Not every Super Bowl is a classic. Sometimes, when the best of the AFC meet the top dogs in the NFC for the biggest prize in football, caginess wins the day and a drab, low-scoring game ensues.
But no sport delivers drama quite like the NFL and many Super Bowls have been rich with offensive talent and high-scoring spectacle.
When the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles last met in the NFL’s showpiece game, at Super Bowl LVII in 2023, the two talent-packed teams produced an instant classic.

The Chiefs narrowly edged a tight one that night, coming out victorious by a 38-35 scoreline. The combined scores of the two teams made it the third-highest-scoring game in Super Bowl history.
And the Eagles were responsible for the Super Bowl clash that ranks second all-time for total points scored.
At Super Bowl LII in 2018, Philadelphia claimed the Vince Lombardi Trophy for the first time in franchise history by beating Tom Brady and the New England Patriots 41-33.
Brady threw for a Super Bowl record 505 yards that evening in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as three different Patriots racked up 100-plus receiving yards.
But it wasn’t enough. Eagles quarterback Nick Foles threw for 373 yards and three touchdowns. And the Philadelphia signal caller even caught a touchdown, after the successful deployment of the “Philly Special” trick play.
The highest-scoring Super Bowl of all time, however, took place more than two decades earlier.
At Super Bowl XXIX in Miami, Florida, the San Francisco 49ers came out on top of an all-California battle with the San Diego Chargers.
Led by legendary quarterback Steve Young and with iconic wide receiver Jerry Rice logging 149 receiving yards and three touchdowns, the Niners – fittingly – won 49-26, securing their first Super Bowl since the departure of four-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback Joe Montana two years earlier.
