Unbelievable NFL Playoff Shootouts: The Jaw-Dropping Games Where Scores Went Off the Charts
And what does has that meant for fans?
Entertaining football. These back-and-forth affairs were some of the most memorable of all time.
Let’s look at some of the playoff games that threatened to break the scoreboard.
Highest Scoring Playoff Games in NFL History
1. Arizona Cardinals 51, Green Bay Packers 45 (OT); Jan. 10, 2010
Everything happened so quickly in this wild-card game. Just over a minute into overtime, Cardinals linebacker Karlos Dansby stripped Aaron Rodgers and walked the ball into the end zone for six. It was a crazy ending to the highest-scoring playoff game in NFL history and one of the highest-scoring games of all time. These NFC teams combined for 28 points in the third quarter and over 1,000 yards overall. Rodgers threw for 423 yards and four touchdowns, while former St. Louis Rams star Kurt Warner threw for 379 and five for the Cardinals. In the end, it was a defensive play that made all the difference. Arizona would drop its next game to the New Orleans Saints, who beat Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts in the Super Bowl.
