I'd seen a number of articles which had mentioned that NFL, for the first two weeks, had the record for the number of touchdowns scored in the first two weeks of a season.
The NFL has been trying to market itself as a quarterback league (Don't believe me? Ask ESPN!!), but I finally found the official word, from the NFL itself:
NFL Vice-President of Football Communications Mike Signora has announced on the official NFL information Twitter account that the 1,502 points scored in the first two weeks of the NFL season is the most in the history of the league.
(Pat yourselves on the back much?)
I guess one could make argument as to whether the average is as high as it has ever been, but I only found two weeks, going back to 1999 (one previously listed, the other was in 2000), in which the average total exceeded 47 (which is around what the first two weeks averaged per-game each), and, in both cases, the other week of the pair was a significant downgrade.
