Man, you won’t believe the rabbit hole I went down today. I was just chilling, watching some football highlights, and it got me thinking, “What’s the lowest scoring game in NFL history?” I mean, we’ve all seen some real nail-biters, but what about the games where barely anyone scored?
So, I started digging. First, I just googled “lowest scoring NFL game.” And let me tell you, the internet is a wild place. I found a bunch of articles, some forum discussions, and even some old newspaper scans. It was information overload! But, hey, I was on a mission.
Sorting through the mess
I started making a list of all the low-scoring games mentioned. There were a lot of 0-0 ties, which makes sense, I guess. I mean, no one scored. But I was more interested in games where someone actually scored, even if it was just a measly field goal.
One game that kept popping up was this Seahawks and Bears game. Apparently, it was the lowest-scoring game of the 2024 season, with a final score of 6-3. That’s only 9 points total! Can you believe it?
But then I found something even crazier. I read about a game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Miami Dolphins, where the final score was 3-0! It seems that 3-0 has been the lowest score on six different occasions. That’s like, one field goal and that’s it. I can’t even imagine how frustrating that must have been for the fans.
Diving deeper
Of course, I couldn’t stop there. I wanted to know about the absolute lowest, like, in the history of the NFL. And that’s when I stumbled upon this game between the Akron Pros and the Buffalo Rangers. It is supposed to be the lowest-scoring game ever, even lower than the 3-0 ones. It seems 2 points is the lowest total, although there have been 73 games with a final score of 0-0!
- Seahawks vs. Bears: 6-3, the lowest of the 2024 season.
- Steelers vs. Dolphins: 3-0, one of the lowest in modern NFL.
- Akron Pros vs. Buffalo Rangers: The lowest ever with only 2 total points!
After all this digging, I felt like a football historian or something. It’s amazing how much information is out there once you start looking. And honestly, it made me appreciate those high-scoring games even more. I mean, a 3-0 game? That’s just…wow. Anyway, I just wanted to share my little adventure with you guys. It’s crazy what you can learn when you’re just messing around on the internet, right?
