It took more than two quarters for points to be scored in multiple NFL Week 14 games.
First, the Houston Texans and New York Jets were stuck in a 0-0 battle amid rainy conditions in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Sunday. The Jets finally broke the scoreless deadlock when Zach Wilson hit Randall Cobb for a 15-yard touchdown just under four minutes into the third quarter.

Then, the Minnesota Vikings and Las Vegas Raiders went nearly all four quarters without a single score. But after quarterback Josh Dobbs was benched, backup Nick Mullens engineered a 13-play, 56-yard drive to set up a 36-yard field goal for Greg Joseph, who would give the Vikings a 3-0 lead with 1:57 remaining in regulation.
The Texans-Jets and Vikings-Raiders games marked the first time two NFL games were scoreless at the half on the same day since October of 1988.
But has there ever been a game that actually ended in a 0-0 tie?
What's the lowest-scoring game in NFL history?
There have been 73 games in pro football history that ended in a 0-0 tie, according to Pro Football Reference. But it's been 80 years since the last one, meaning there's yet to be a scoreless tie in the Super Bowl era.
When was the last 0-0 tie in the NFL?
The most recent 0-0 tie came on Nov. 7, 1943, in a game played between the New York Giants and Detroit Lions. The two teams combined for nine first downs and 214 yards at Briggs Stadium in Detroit.

Washington Redskins vs.New York Giants (November 27, 1966): This game holds the record for the highest combined score in NFL history, with the Redskins defeating the Giants 72-41, leading to a total of 113 points. Cincinnati Bengals vs.
20, 2013. Since the National Football League began in 1920, only one team has played a perfect season (both regular season and playoffs): the 1972 Miami Dolphins, who won all fourteen of their regular season games and three postseason games, including Super Bowl VII, to finish the season 17–0–0.
Has any NFL team went 16-0? The 2007 Patriots are the only NFL team to ever post a perfect 16–0 regular season. They continued with wins in both playoff games to reach an amazing 18–0 streak for the season, the only team to ever do so. Unfortunately, the NY Giants narrowly won Super Bowl XLII, 17–14.
The lowest-scoring Super Bowl of all time was Super Bowl LIII in 2019. Just 16 total points were scored between the Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams. The Patriots won, 13-3.
If the score remains tied after both teams have had a possession, then the next score of any kind wins the game. These rules ensure that a Super Bowl or any playoff game cannot end in a tie, maintaining the necessity for a decisive outcome to determine the championship.
No.If it's 99–0 and there's 5 minutes to play, they play those last 5 minutes even if the final score ends up being 113–0. Of course, the team that is losing can walk off the field at any time and take a forfeit. It has never happened but there's nothing preventing it from happening besides professional pride.
The Patriots and Broncos are tied for the most Super Bowl losses at five. The Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Houston Texans, and Jacksonville Jaguars are the four teams to have never appeared in a Super Bowl, although the Browns and Lions both won NFL championships before the Super Bowl era.
It is important to note that specific score outcomes are impossible due to the scoring rules in place. Specifically, results such as 1-1, 1-0, 2-1, 3-1, 4-1, 5-1, and 7-1 are not viable. This is because a score of 5-1 can only be obtained through a field goal and a conventional safety, which is highly unlikely.
In the National Football League (NFL), a tied game occurs when a regular season game ends with both teams having an equal score after one 10-minute overtime period. Ties have counted as a half-win and half-loss in league standings since 1972; before that, ties were not counted in the standings at all.
