WASHINGTON — It wasn’t until the final quarter that Super Bowl 60 came alive with touchdowns lighting up the scoreboard!
Throughout the game, Seattle maintained a steady pace, scoring several field goals, while New England remained scoreless until the fourth quarter finally broke the drought.
But, has a Super Bowl ever ended without a single point from one team?
Seattle initiated the match with a 33-yard field goal and continued to build their lead with another, making it 6-0. Just before halftime, they added yet another field goal and extended the lead to 12-0 in the third. The Seahawks finally broke into the end zone for the game’s first touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Though no Super Bowl has ever ended in a shutout, the record for the fewest points by a team remains three, a fate experienced by the Dolphins in Super Bowl VI and the Rams in Super Bowl LIII.
Has there ever been a shutout in the Super Bowl?
There has never been a shutout in a Super Bowl. The fewest points ever scored by a team is three. That happened with the Dolphins in Super Bowl VI and Rams in Super Bowl LIII.
With their first touchdown in the fourth quarter, the New England Patriots have successfully ensured they don’t make the wrong kind of history in that way.
Has there ever been a Super Bowl without a touchdown?
No, each of the previous 59 Super Bowls have included at least one touchdown. Super Bowl 60 won’t go down in history for that either, as Seattle got the game’s first touchdown in the fourth quarter.
In fact, there’s only been one time where the NFL’s championship game had just one touchdown. That was Super Bowl 53… which was also historically low scoring.
