As of 2024, what is the National Football League's (NFL) lowest scoring Super Bowl game?
Super Bowl LIII is the lowest-scoring Super Bowl with 16 total points in history and the only Super Bowl to enter the fourth quarter without a touchdown. Tied 3–3, the New England Patriots took over in the fourth quarter, scoring 10 unanswered points to win 13–3 against the Los Angeles Rams.
Another low-scoring game was Super Bowl VII, where the Miami Dolphins rebounded to defeat the Washington Redskins 14–7. The 21 total points remains the second-lowest total in Super Bowl history. With the win, the Miami Dolphins became the only NFL team to finish undefeated.
Super Bowl IX saw the Pittsburgh Steelers and the vaunted “Steel Curtain” defense defeat the Minnesota Vikings 16–6. The 22 total points is the third-lowest total in Super Bowl history.
The 23 total points scored in Super Bowl III remains the fourth-lowest total in history. It was a defensive struggle, but the New York Jets quarterback Joe Namath gets most of the credit for one of the biggest upsets in NFL history with a 16-7 win against the Baltimore Colts.
