NFL Week 17 picks: Why you should consider Lions, Panthers and Colts
Lorenzo Reyes is back with his three best bets ahead of Week 17 games. Find out why he likes the Lions, Panthers and Colts to cover the spread.
If “Thursday Night Football” felt unusually low-scoring, it was. Seattle’s 6-3 victory was the lowest-scoring game of the 2024 NFL season to this point. It was the first time both teams in a game failed to score more than 10 points in an NFL game this season.
The prior record for lowest-scoring game of the season was the Jacksonville Jaguars‘ 10-6 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 14. That game featured one touchdown: an 8-yard touchdown run by Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby.
It’s not the only game without a touchdown this season. “Thursday Night Football” in Week 15 was a 12-6 win by the Los Angeles Rams over the San Francisco 49ers.
The Seahawks scored field goals on their first and last drives of the first half for their only points of the game. Chicago’s field goal with 2:32 to go in the second quarter prevented the shutout.
Neither team scored in the second half.
The Seahawks were involved in the most recent 6-3 game in NFL history: a 6-3 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 23, 2011.
Last year’s lowest scoring game was the Minnesota Vikings‘ 3-0 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Dec. 10.
