Well, howdy there! Let’s jaw about somethin’ real confusin’ – this here lowest scorin’ NFL game of the season. You know, them football fellers, runnin’ around, throwin’ the pigskin… sometimes they score a whole heap, sometimes, well, not so much.
This season, seems like some teams just couldn’t get their act together. I heard tell there’s a whole bunch of ’em tied for the fewest points in a single game, just three measly points! Can you believe that? Three points! My old hen lays more eggs than that in a day, I swear! Them Chicago Bears, bless their hearts, were one of the first to do it, back in November. Folks was sayin’ they couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn that day.
Now, I ain’t no fancy football expert, but even I know three points ain’t gonna win you nothin’. You gotta get that ball across the line, into that end zone thingy, to get them points. Seems like some teams this year just plum forgot how to do that.
One game, the Vikings and Raiders they played, ended up with a score of 3-0. Three to nothin’! Can you imagine? All them big fellas pushin’ and shovin’ each other, and nobody can hardly score. Folks were sayin’ it was the lowest-scoring game ever played indoors, or when they had the roof closed up. Some folks was even hopin’ for a 0-0 tie! Imagine that, nobody scorin’ at all! Now that would be somethin’ to tell the grandkids about.
- Now, the New York Giants, they seem to be havin’ a tough time all season. Heard tell they got the fewest points overall, just 194 points the whole darn season. That ain’t much, not much at all. Makes you wonder if they’re even tryin’.
- And get this, way back in 1944, them Brooklyn Tigers, they scored even less! Just 6.9 points a game, on average. 6.9 points! That’s less than a touchdown and a field goal! Makes you think maybe football was a whole different game back then.
Speakin’ of low scorin’ games, they tell me there’s been a few times in history where a game ended up 2-0. Two to nothin’! Can you even picture that? Two points! That’s like, one safety or somethin’, I guess. The last time that happened was way back in 1938, with the Packers and the Bears. Long before my time, that’s for sure.
But since they merged the NFL and AFL back in 1970, the fewest total points in a game has been three. Just three points! Like that Vikings-Raiders game. It’s kinda funny, ain’t it? All this fancy footwork and strategizin’, and sometimes it all just boils down to three measly points.
Now, I know some folks like seein’ them high-scoring games, where the ball is flyin’ all over the place and fellas are runnin’ wild. But there’s somethin’ to be said for these low-scoring games too. It shows you how tough the defense can be, how hard it is to move that ball down the field. It’s a real battle of wills, a grind-it-out kinda game.
And even though these low-scoring games might not be the most excitin’ to watch, they sure do get people talkin’. Folks are always tryin’ to figure out what went wrong, why the teams couldn’t score. Was it the quarterback? The offensive line? The play callin’? There’s always plenty of blame to go around.
This season seems like there’s been a whole lot of close games, real nail-biters. And sometimes, in them close games, the scorin’ gets real low. Teams are afraid to make mistakes, so they play it safe, and the points just don’t come easy. It makes for some tense watchin’, that’s for sure. You’re sittin’ on the edge of your seat, waitin’ for somethin’, anything, to happen.
So, there you have it, my two cents on this here lowest-scoring NFL game of the season. It ain’t always pretty, and it ain’t always excitin’, but it’s still football. And sometimes, three points is all you need. Though, I reckon most times you need a whole lot more than that! But hey, what do I know? I’m just an old woman who likes watchin’ them fellas run around on the TV.
