A major chunk of fans was amused by the scoreline.
When the NFL witnessed a 113-point game
It was a day of high drama. On November 27, 1966, Washington Redskins downed New York Giants 72-41 in a swashbuckling clash. This became the highest combined point total in NFL history. Meanwhile, the Washington-based team also achieved the record for most points in a regular season by a single team.
The Redskin QB Sonny Jurgensen had three TDs and completed 10 of 16 passes. The Giants handed three non-offensive TDs to the winners, making their task easier. In the end, the game entered the history books with a unique record.
How did IMG Academy batter West Toronto Prep?
IMG Academy has a 7-1 record after this win. They scored 96 points in the first half against West Toronto Prep. The score led to the amazement of fans who attended Senior Night down in Florida. The dominant score led the officials to call off the game at halftime. It offered many reactions to the Twitter universe.

IMG is no joke. I’ve seen high school football here in Oregon, Wash, nothing even compares. Even teams in California.

Clearly not a good matchup. Didn’t the coaches know this? Games like these shouldn’t even be scheduled. You put the players at risk of getting hurt and shame on IMG for running up the score like that. That’s poor sportsmanship IMO.

Interestingly, it is Ascender’s seventh successive win after losing the season opener against Miami Central. In the last four games, IMG has scored 254 points and conceded zero, making them one of the most dominant teams in the league. Currently ranked 12, they will take on the No.2 team in the country, St Frances Academy next week. NFL legends like Tom Brady loves games with high scores. However, the future HOF-er would not be excited about a score as high as 96-0.
