Alright, so you wanna know about the lowest-scoring NFL game, huh? Well, lemme tell ya, it’s a bit of a history lesson, not somethin’ you see every Sunday.
Way Back When…
Now, if you’re talkin’ real low-scoring, like, nothin’ at all, we gotta go way back. Like, way back to when I was a young’un, or maybe even before that! They say there’s been a whole bunch of games, like, 73 of ’em, that ended up 0-0. Can you believe that? Nobody scorin’ nothin’! That ain’t football, that’s just standin’ around, far as I’m concerned. The last time that happened was in 1943, with the New York Giants and the Detroit Lions. Imagine payin’ good money to watch that! They just kicked the ball back and forth, I guess.
The 3-Pointers
But if you’re talkin’ about games where somebody actually scored, but just barely, then we got a few of them 3-0 games. Yep, you heard that right, just three measly points the whole game! There’s been seven of them since this Super Bowl thing started, whatever that is. The most recent one was just last year, 2023 I think it was, with the Vikings and the Raiders. Folks probably thought they were watchin’ paint dry that day. And before that, you had the Steelers beatin’ the Dolphins 3-0 way back in 2007. That’s a long time between nothin’ much happenin’, ain’t it?
- Here’s some of them low-scoring games:
- Giants and Lions, 1943: 0-0 – A whole lotta nothin’.
- Vikings and Raiders, 2023: 3-0 – Someone finally kicked a field goal, I reckon.
- Steelers and Dolphins, 2007: 3-0 – Another snoozer.
Other Low-Scoring Games
Now, they say there’s been other games with just a few more points. Like, games with only 2 points total! Can you imagine? That’s happened five times, they say. I ain’t sure how you even get 2 points in football, but I guess they figured it out somehow. And last year, there was a game where the Patriots beat the Jets 10-3. 13 points total! That ain’t much better. Sounds like a whole lotta puntin’ and not much else.
So, What’s the Lowest?
So, if you’re askin’ me what the absolute lowest score was, well, it depends on what you mean. If you mean nobody scorin’ at all, it’s that 0-0 game from way back when. But if you mean somebody actually puttin’ points on the board, then it’s them 3-0 games. Either way, it ain’t exactly excitin’ football, is it? I’d rather watch the chickens peck around the yard, to be honest. At least they move faster.
Why So Low?
Now, why would these games be so low-scoring? Well, I reckon it’s a combination of things. Maybe the defenses were just real good, stoppin’ everything. Or maybe the offenses were just plain terrible, couldn’t get nothin’ goin’. Or maybe it was just one of them days where nothin’ went right for anybody. Football’s a funny game like that. Sometimes you score a whole bunch, sometimes you can’t hardly score at all.
The End of the Story
So, there you have it. A little history lesson about low-scoring NFL games. It ain’t pretty, but it’s part of the game, I guess. Me, I like seein’ some touchdowns, some runnin’ and throwin’. But hey, sometimes you just gotta take what you can get, even if it’s just a measly three points. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed them chickens.
