what is the lowest scoring nfl game

The lowest scoring NFL game in the post-merger history is 3-0, which has happened a total of six times. The first one came in 1971 when the Minnesota Vikings defeated the Packers with a fourth-quarter field goal by Fred Cox. The most recent occurrence was in 2007 during a torrential downpour when the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Miami Dolphins. In that game, Jeff Reed kicked a 24-yard field goal with 17 seconds remaining. If the game doesn’t end in a tie, the next lowest score is a 2-0 win in which a team would win off of a singular safety. However, that hasn’t happened in the NFL yet.
