What is the highest-scoring Super Bowl in history?
The highest-scoring Super Bowl in history came in 1995 as the San Francisco 49ers defeated the San Diego Chargers 49-26 for a combined total of 75 points.
The 29-year record stands firm but came under severe threat from the Eagles in 2018 as they ran out 41-33 winners over Tom Brady's New England Patriots thanks to a masterpiece display from Nick Foles.
The 49ers also boast the record for the most points scored by an individual team in the Super Bowl with an immense tally of 55 in the 1990 showpiece game.
They obliterated the Denvers Broncos, who replied with just 10 points on a sorry night for the franchise.
