However, it was only the third highest scoring game in NFL history.The number of penalties throughout the game was astounding, especially in the beginning. I think that lead to the scoring. On the first drive, Murray got flagged near the endzone for a hit on a defenseless player. The guy didn't use his helmet, but put his shoulder pad on the ball and forced an incompletion. That should be textbook in my world. Penalties like that at the start set the tone for the rest of the game.Interesting fact:  the NFL pulled together an "all-star" roster of referees for last night's game, similar to what they would do for the playoffs. It's possible that this hodgepodge also led to more penalties....or just the fact that both teams were pushing the limits. I'm sure it was a combination of both.</blockquote>
