In the midst of the NFL season, a rather uneventful game took place on Thursday Night Football between the Seahawks and the Bears. The final score? A measly 6-3, marking the lowest-scoring game of the season. This game surpassed the previous low score record of Jaguars 10, Titans 6 set in Week 14. What makes this score even more astonishing is that it was the fewest points a winning team had scored all season, while the Bears became the 10th team to score three or fewer points in a loss.
The offenses this Christmas week have been particularly struggling. Just on Monday, the Saints were shut out by the Packers with a final score of 34-0, marking the first shutout of the season. On Wednesday, another poor performance by the Texans resulted in a loss to the Ravens, 31-2, setting the second-lowest score for any team this season.
Looking back, the last time an NFL game saw less than nine points combined was during Week 14 of 2023, when the Vikings defeated the Raiders 3-0. This recent game highlights a worrying trend in the league's offensive performance.
