Alright, so you wanna know about the lowest scoring game in the NFL, huh? Well, gather ’round, and I’ll tell ya what I know. It ain’t gonna be fancy, mind you, just plain talk, like we’re sittin’ on the porch swing, sippin’ sweet tea.
Now, they say the lowest score since them NFL and AFL fellas joined up back in 1970 was a measly three points. Can you believe that? Three measly points! They call it a 3-0 game, and it’s happened, what, seven times? That’s like, barely a game at all. Last time it happened was just this past year, 2023, between them Vikings and Raiders. Heard it was a real snoozer, not much fun to watch at all.
But get this, before all that merging stuff, way back when, they had games endin’ up in a 0-0 tie! Can you imagine? No points at all! Seventy-three times that happened, they say. But that was a long, long time ago. Like, eighty years ago! Before any of us were even born, I reckon. So, in this Super Bowl era, ain’t no scoreless ties, thank goodness.
I heard tell of a game where the Vikings beat the Raiders just 3-0. Folks were sayin’ it set football back 16 years. Can you believe it? All that runnin’ around and only three points to show for it. Almost set it back 80 years to them old 0-0 ties! Lucky for them, some fella named Greg Joseph kicked a field goal right near the end, saved ’em from that embarrassment.
- Now, they had this team, the Brooklyn Tigers, back in 1944. They say those fellas scored the fewest points per game in a whole season. Guess they weren’t much for puttin’ the ball in the end zone, huh? Sounded like a bunch of sad sacks to me.
- And then there were these other games way back when, before the Super Bowl and all that. Like, the Pittsburgh Steelers playing the Miami Dolphins and ending up 3-0. Or the Akron Pros versus the Buffalo Rangers. Don’t know much about them, but they sure didn’t score much, that’s for sure.
So yeah, the lowest score in the NFL these days is three points. And if you wanna go way, way back, you got them 0-0 ties. But that ain’t happened in a coon’s age. Seems like these young fellas these days like to score a whole lot more. Maybe it’s all them fancy plays they run, or maybe they just eat better. Who knows? All I know is, three points ain’t much of a game, and zero points? Well, that’s just a waste of a perfectly good afternoon.
Anyways, that’s the gist of it. Lowest score since the merger? Three points. Lowest score ever? Zero. But that was way back when. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my biscuits. Don’t want ‘em burnin’ like them Raiders offense did in that 3-0 game.
I hope that makes some sense. I ain’t no fancy football expert, just tellin’ it like I heard it. Just plain ol’ common sense, you know? Now, you have a good day, ya hear?
