The NFL record for the most points scored in a game is one of the longest-standing records in the game. The crazy thing about this game is it wasn't the explosive offensive showdown you would expect from a game that's held the record for more than 50 years. But this game had everything else - turnovers, long touchdowns, a controversial ending, and some stats that seem incredible today. 

Join us for the story of this Washington Redskins vs New York Giants game from 1966 and how one of the 14 balls lost that day is now up for auction. Plus, we'll take you back to one of the most important NFL seasons in the league's history and tell you the wild story about how the Atlanta Falcons ended up in the NFL instead of the AFL.
