NFL on pace to set scoring record in 2020 season The NFL has gone on a scoring spree this season, with the league on pace to set a record for points scored in a campaignAfter getting gashed by Cleveland for nearly 500 yards and six touchdowns and still coming out on top in a high-scoring, back-and-forth thriller, Baltimore star linebacker Matthew Judon summed it up well. Rule changes that seemed to de-emphasize offensive holding, while cracking down on defensive pass interference only made scoring easier. “I think we can all agree there’s been a lot of good quarterback play this season,” he said. — There have been an NFL record 30 times that a team lost a game despite scoring at least 30 points, up from 16 all of last season. There have been nearly 300 fewer offensive holding penalties this season, while pass interference flags are up slightly.
