and I agree with you, as pointed out above.
Maybe 'points' was what they meant... but I heard this said many times... and never did they single out 'points'... I heard 'games like this...'.... 'this game is the new NFL'.... etc.
Higher points is a duh... been that way since forever... and will continue to be as the rules will surely continue to make sure this happens.

Yeah in terms of what a great game is, it's plays not points. For example the classic Miami/Chargers playoff game of 1981 wasn't great because it was double overtime (to name another merely corrolary thing like massive points). It was great because both teams just kept making spectacularly memorable plays.
So I agree with how you put it here:

The back and forth... the quality of passes and catches.... the sporadic but fantastic defensive plays... crucial ST plays... and on and on.
I just can't see games like that as being 'commonplace'... I'll readily admit to being wrong when it starts happening regularly. - JamesJM
It won't start happening regularly.
There were 4 legit league MVP candidates in that game.
But even the MVPCs aside, plays were made right and left, by practically everybody. Offense and defense plus Hekker. It's the game that forced the USA to learn how to pronounce "EH-boo-kahm." Among many other things.
That's not going to be a routine kind of commodity.
