Yesterday marking the 24th anniversary of Tom Brady's first TD pass (to Terry Glenn) inspires this. I believe it was brought up on ESPN. Seeing that it was actually against the (Flutie QBed) Chargers, I looked at the '01 Pats schedule and saw that it was during Brady's third full game as a starter after, of course, taking over for Bledsoe. I always assumed it'd be that 44-13 blowout over Peyton's Colts, Tom's first full game in Wk#3.

Three rushing TDs, two pick-6s, and three Vinatieri FGs is what made up the Pats' 44 pts.

I'm going to guess this isn't a record of most points a team scored in a game without a pass-TD. Or was it? Thanks in-advance for anyone who can answer what the record is for that as well as the most points a team scored in a game without a rushing-TD?

Thanks again.

Off the top of my head the 49ers scored 44 in the playoffs vs. the Giants in 1993 with all run TDs. The Giants scored 49 on all passes vs. Washington in 1962 as did the Eagles in 1954.

Since they just came to me I am sure there are plenty of others.

Saints scored 52 vs. Vikings in 2020 on all run TDs

In 1922, Rock Island beat Evansville 60-0 on 9 rushing TDs.

Thanks for the responses!

NYG/SF '93 divisional? That Steve Young offense NOT scoring a single pass-TD?? I remember the result, a sad way to end 'Big Blue Wrecking Crew'/LT-Simms era, but would have always assumed at least a couple TD passes! Ricky Watters 5 TDs? Fine, but perhaps one or two of them being catches considering the all-purpose back he was. This game obviously an example of how great RW was, and just how stout that Dallas defense was...stopping that offense juggernaut the following week.

As far as the record for most pts w/out a pass-TD, I always imagined it'd be way back from the beginning years of the league.
