Last week, the Los Angeles Rams and Buffalo Bills set a record as the highest-scoring game in the NFL this season, combining for 12 touchdowns and 86 points. On Thursday night, the Rams and 49ers also set a season record – only this time, it was for offensive futility.
For the first time all year, an NFL game finished with zero touchdowns. That means there were 208 straight games with at least one touchdown until Thursday night’s slopfest at a rainy Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
The Rams couldn’t care less because they won 12-6 and improved their record to 8-6, but fans would’ve loved to see someone find the end zone at least once. Instead, they were treated to a field goal barrage.
Joshua Karty made four field goals and Jake Moody made two, providing the only points in the entire game. For comparison, there were 13 punts in this game after the Rams and 49ers combined for just four punts in their Week 14 wins.
