The Buffalo Bills have opened the 2026 NFL season with an explosive offense, scoring 77 points through their first two games. But where does that rank among the highest-scoring starts in NFL history?
The NFL record for the most points scored by a team through its first two games of a season belongs to the 1968 Oakland Raiders, who scored 95 points.
NFL Record for Most Points Through the First Two Games
The 1968 Oakland Raiders produced one of the most dominant offensive starts in professional football history.
Oakland opened the season by defeating the Buffalo Bills 48-6 before beating the Miami Dolphins 47-21.
That gave the Raiders:
Game 1: 48 points
Game 2: 47 points
Total: 95 points
The 95 combined points remain the benchmark for the most points scored through a team’s opening two games of an NFL season.
Most Points Scored Through Two Games in NFL History
Here are some of the highest-scoring two-game starts:
| Team | Season | Points Through 2 Games |
|---|---|---|
| Oakland Raiders | 1968 | 95 |
| New Orleans Saints | 2009 | 93 |
| Rock Island Independents | 1920 | 93 |
| New Orleans Saints | 2024 | 91 |
| Dallas Cowboys | 1971 | 91 |
The Raiders’ record has survived for decades despite the NFL becoming increasingly favorable to high-powered passing offenses.
How Many Points Have the Buffalo Bills Scored in 2026?
The Buffalo Bills have scored 77 points through their first two games of the 2026 NFL season.
Buffalo opened its season with a 36-31 victory over the Houston Texans before defeating the Detroit Lions 41-31 in the first regular-season game at the new Highmark Stadium.
Buffalo’s scoring totals:
Week 1 vs. Houston Texans: 36 points
Week 2 vs. Detroit Lions: 41 points
Total: 77 points
That means the Bills finished their first two games 18 points short of the Raiders’ record of 95.
Could the Bills Still Set a Three-Game Scoring Record?
While the two-game record is no longer attainable for Buffalo in 2026, the Bills’ offensive start puts them in position to potentially challenge other early-season scoring marks as the schedule continues.
Through two games, Buffalo is averaging:
38.5 points per game
Maintaining anything close to that pace would give the Bills one of the NFL’s most productive offensive starts in recent history.
Who Holds the NFL Record?
The answer is the 1968 Oakland Raiders.
Oakland scored 95 combined points over its first two games, beginning the season with 48 points against Buffalo and another 47 against Miami.
The 2026 Buffalo Bills scored 77 points through their opening two games, leaving them 18 points behind the historic Raiders mark.
