The Patriots 59-0 win over the Titans almost qualifies, but the Patriots punted once.
Actually I looked it up. That game does not qualify, but not because of the punt (which was in the fourth quarter after it being 59-0).
Rather the first drive of the game for New England ended on a missed field goal.
But otherwise perfect before garbage time by most people’s definition of it.

One game that does qualify:
1999 AFC Divisional Round Matchup between the Jaguars and Dolphins.
That game was admittedly 38-0 in a hurry (only at 13:17 to go in the second quarter at which point Jay Fiedler was in the game), but every time the Jaguars had the ball to that point, they scored and kicked all the extra points, meanwhile the Dolphins had three punts, one of which was blocked, an interception and a fumble by Dan Marino that was recovered by the Jaguars and returned for a touchdown.
That might be the most perfectly played game in the NFL in the period where the game was remotely in the balance. What do you all think?
