Lowest-scoring Super Bowl in NFL history: Which game had fewest points scored?
We're leaving this here just in case...

We're optimists here at Radio Times, but let's face it... this one isn't an advert for free-throwing, gun-slinging NFL action.
Super Bowl LX has reached the halfway mark with pulses around the globe unlikely to lifted above a resting state given the lack of point-scoring so far on the night.
The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks have made it this far due to their defensive nous – and it shows.
Without attempting to put the kiss of death on this current Super Bowl, and while trying to inspire a second-half rally, we round up a bunch of games with even less to shout about.
RadioTimes.com brings you the lowest scoring Super Bowls in history.
What is the lowest-scoring Super Bowl in history?
The lowest-scoring Super Bowl in history came in 2019 as the New England Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 for a combined total of 16 points.
A 46-year record tumbled after that game with the second lowest-scoring game coming way back in 1973 at Super Bowl VII.
The Miami Dolphins defeated Washington 14-7 for a total of 21 points, highlighting just how historically stingy the 2019 encounter was.
At the halftime whistle in Super Bowl LVIII, the San Francisco 49ers lead Kansas City Chiefs 10-3 for a total of 13 points. If the current course continues, we could see a new entry into the top 10.
