NFL Scoring Reached Record Highs In 2014
Nine teams scored at least 400 points in 2014 -- Green Bay (486), Denver (482), Philadelphia (474), New England (468), Dallas (467), Indianapolis (458), Pittsburgh (436), Baltimore (409) and New Orleans (401) -- tying the 2009 and 2012 seasons for the second-most all-time.
Those nine teams combined for a .674 winning percentage, and seven qualified for the playoffs.
A record 807 touchdown passes were also recorded in 2014, surpassing the league-wide record of 804, which occurred in 2013.

Led by the NFC North champion Green Bay Packers, who finished 12-4 and scored an NFL-high 486 points in 2014, many of the NFL's top-scoring offenses translated those points into wins.
"Teams are really balanced on offense," says Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. "If it takes 38-plus points to win, then that's what teams have to do. There are no excuses any longer with the way offense is trending today."
The teams that scored at least 400 points in 2014:
