Lowest and highest-scoring Super Bowl games of NFL history, and how the 2025 score compares
The Philadelphia Eagles crushed the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 on Sunday night, but it wasn't close to the highest-scoring Super Bowls in history.
The Eagles led 24-0 at halftime, with the highlights including a 38-yard pick-6 by birthday boy Cooper DeJean, Jalen Hurts' TD pass to A.J. Brown and a whole lot of pressure on Patricks Mahomes by Philadelphia's pass rushers.
In the second half, the Eagles continued right where they left off – putting another field goal by Jake Elliot and a touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith.
The Chiefs got onto the board with a touchdown pass from Mahomes to Xavier Worthy in the third. However, a pair of touchdowns and two-point conversions in the fourth quarter were not enough to stop the Eagles.
Here are the highest- and lowest-scoring Super Bowl games in NFL history, dating back to the first Super Bowl in 1967:
