@@Jhorton386 I didnt mean 16-11 would be a scorigami, but that 16-11 was a good starting point to get one. 33-11 and eventually 32-22 were the best bets.
I wrote a little Sports section for a newsletter I worked on at an old job of mine, a large part of it was talking regional NFL teams, Browns being one of them. I forced myself through that whole 5-0 Eagles v Browns preseason game just for Browns content to write about and I still cant believe that was a real game. I showed that score in the article and started my piece with "Yes, that is a real score from a real professional game of NFL football."
I remember the Falcons vs Giants playoff game, that was a weird one for sure. We’ve never had a 0-0 tie in NFL history. It’s possible for someone to finish with 1 point through a 1-point safety or someone finishing with 4 points through two safeties. The Panthers and Bengals had the highest scoring tie ever at 37 I believe so maybe somebody breaks that record eventually like a 50-50 tie
There have been plenty of scoreless tie games in NFL history. Most of them happened in the early decades of the league. The last one occurred some time in the 1940's I think. None have occurred since overtime rules were introduced in 1974 though.
Another good one is a game that doesn't look so weird in the boxscore: Dallas 21, Green Bay 0. But the 21 points came off a record 7 field goals. No touchdowns. I think that was back in the Brett Favre days.
Im not sure what year that first game between Buffalo and Cleveland took place, but i do remember those Bills jerseys. Buffalo needs to bring those back!! Those were probably one of the cleanest "away" jerseys for a regular season. They should really bring those back!! (Also, shout out to Youngstown, Ohio!! My city!! Lmao)
There was a 5-0 playoff game in 1970 - Lions at Cowboys. Dallas' D that day was Doomsday for real. Detroit had < 100 yards passing and rushing both - 156 total yards. The Craig Morton Cowboys were not much better. Morton was 4-18 for 38 yards.
There was another 3-0 game this season. Vikings 3, Raiders 0 (Week 14). Then the next week the Raiders went and beat the Chargers 63-21 (Week 15). Both were home games for the Raiders, it was kind of an insane progression to watch This was the same season that the Dolphins beat the Broncos 70-20, then lost later in the season to the Ravens 56-19, and the Eagles went from being solidly in the lead in their division to losing to the Cardinals and Giants in the last 2 weeks of the regular season, 2 of the worst teams in the NFC. This year was wild, and I'm sure the playoffs are gonna be just as crazy
1970 Divisional Playoff Lions @ Cowboys with Cowboys winning 5-0, that was only the second game ever to end in that score although there has been another since.
Once we finally see a 10-1 final score, there will be no need to play football anymore. But the chances of that happening are so astronomically rare as to be incalculable, so it looks like the NFL is good for a while.
Uhhh... that Colts Jags game, can someone please explain to me what happened there?!? Dudes entire body landed 3 feet out of bounds. His feet didn't, but that doesn't matter. His back hit the ground at the exact time as his feet hit the ground on the field.. Im super confused on whyyy the clock didn't shop and whyy they said he wasn't out of bounds.. 🤔🤔🤔
You missed the Browns vs Baltimore game where Cleveland made a field goal, but it hit the supporting pole and came back out of the uprights. It was such a bizarre play that they wrote a new rule to call it good because of it
Was Eli Manning actually any good or did he always have like the best groups of receivers? I think u put an average qb in most of those Giants offenses and they’re successful and maybe even more successful
