Unbelievable NFL Playoff Shootouts: The Most Jaw-Dropping High-Scoring Games Ever Played!
Most Points by One Team in the 21st Century in the Playoffs
Jacksonville Jaguars 62, Miami Dolphins 7; Jan. 15, 2000
This divisional playoff game is just as notable for being one of the biggest blowouts in NFL history as it is for being former MVP Dan Marino’s final contest. The Jaguars entered the game as the top seed in the AFC and it was pretty much over by the end of the first quarter (Jags led 24-0). Fred Taylor had an NFL postseason record 90-yard touchdown run and it was 41-7 at halftime before the Jags padded the scoreboard with 21 more points in the second half. They finished the afternoon with 520 total yards to Miami’s meager 131. After the Dolphins had beaten the Seattle Seahawks 20-17 in the first round, Marino completed just 11-of-25 passes for 95 yards with one touchdown and two picks. Jacksonville couldn’t continue its dominance in the AFC Championship game, losing to the Tennessee Titans for the third time that season.
