    14 touchdowns in 51 minutes isn't impossible, but I'd call it highly improbable in actual league play.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-scoring_NFL_games indicates that the highest total score (both teams combined) in "regular season" play is 113 points, which is a bit more than the total here, with 16 total touchdowns.

    If a top NFL team were to play a game against the Podunkville Sunday-Afternooners, then absolutely you could expect to see scores like this.

    A blowout like that would indicate that Minnesota's defence has completely fallen apart and the defensive co-coordinator is getting fired tomorrow morning. Their offence managed to score 10 points, which is amazing, considering how little time they would have been on the field. Impossible, no, but improbable, definitely.

    I smell shenanigans. I just reviewed the scores for all the games between the Vikings and the Packers. That 10 score shows up a bunch of times (as expected), but the highest score for the Packers was 45, which is still amazingly high. The game on January 2, 2022 was 10 to 37, so I am thinking that some Packers fan a 9 slipped in there over the 3.

    Anyone else catch the George Carlin reference in there today? Nicely done!

    I'd be surprised if the defensive co-ordinator lasted as long as midnight, much less waiting until the next morning, frankly.

    But yeah, definitely a glitch somewhere.

    Both of them. Very nicely done!

    9 billion, not trillion. That's still a lot of money, though.

    USDT isn't quite the same as USD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tether_(cryptocurrency)

    So, 9 billion Tether for one Ether is not entirely impossible, considering the volatility of such schemes. Although I do not know if this was indeed the actual conversion rate here or a bug.

    In a normal sport that actually involves athletes, scoring 14 times in 51 minutes is perfectly possible but NFL involves a lot of time wasting so probably not

    @Willy: Don't forget the 51 minutes cited is 51 clock minutes, not real time minutes.

    NFL teams waste very little clock time deliberately except in certain end-of-half scenarios where time-wasting becomes a primary tactic for the leading team. And which tactic would only be applicable to a close game, not a blow-out.

    Still a long ways off of the biggest football blowout in history (pulling in college football from 100 years ago; which you really have to do to find anything where one team scores more than 80 points), which goes to https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/2016-10-08/college-football-100th-anniversary-georgia-techs-222-0. tl;dr: georgia tech signed a contract with cumberland to play the next year, just before cumberland suspended their football program. GT's coach insisted they play anyway.

    In modern/legitimate play, teams rarely break 70 points for a single side in a single game.

    I wouldn't go making withdrawals with those ridiculous fees. $128 million for one withdrawal?!
