The Super Bowl is one of the most entertaining spectacles in world sport, but when the game fails to deliver, it stings – especially when British fans have stayed up all night to tune in.

Super Bowl LVIII reached the halfway mark with just 13 points on the board and while the second half is sure to bear more fruit, other games have simply failed to get off the ground.

Without attempting to put the kiss of death on this current Super Bowl, we round of 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.
