The much-hyped Monday Night Football game against the Patrick Mahomes-led Kansas City Chiefs and Jared Goff’s Los Angeles Rams lived up to the billing and then some. It wasn’t just a barn-burner, it was an historic barn-burner, amassing the most points of any Monday NFL game ever (105 points total) and featured, for the first time ever, both teams scoring over 50 points (Chiefs 51, Rams 54). It also ended up costing Las Vegas a bunch of money.
The game, which has already been deemed one of the greatest, if not “the greatest regular season NFL game ever,” contained eight lead changes, including four in the final quarter and two ties. The Chiefs racked up 546 yards on 69 plays (448 passing, 98 rushing), while the Rams gained 455 yards on 75 plays (379 passing, 76 rushing). The yardage total, 1,001, isn’t a new record, but ranks highly.
