The Bears-Seahawks Thursday Night Football finale sets a season record for fewest points

If “Thursday Night Football” felt unusually bad, that was it. Seattle’s 6-3 win was the weakest game of the 2024 NFL season up to that point. It was the first time this season that both teams scored no more than 10 points in an NFL game.

The previous record for the lowest scoring game of the season was the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 10-6 victory over the Tennessee Titans in Week 14. There was one touchdown in that game: an 8-yard touchdown run by the Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby.

It’s not the only game without a touchdown this season. “Thursday Night Football” in Week 15 featured a 12-6 Los Angeles Rams victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

The Seahawks scored field goals on the first and last drives of the first half and secured their only points of the game. Chicago’s field goal with 2:32 left in the second quarter prevented the shutout.

Neither team scored a goal in the second half.

The Seahawks were involved in the last 6-3 game in NFL history: a 6-3 loss to the Cleveland Browns on October 23, 2011.

The lowest scoring game last year was the Minnesota Vikings’ 3-0 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on December 10th.
