Has a Super Bowl Ever Gone Scoreless? The Shocking Truth
We’re seeing a defensive showdown in Super Bowl 60, with the Seahawks leading 9-0 at halftime. Every drive has been a struggle. Seattle marched quickly down the field, but the Patriots’ defense held and no touchdowns have landed so far. Field goals are dominating the scoreboard.
Moments like this naturally raise a question among fans: has there ever been a Super Bowl without a touchdown? The answer is no. In all 59 previous Super Bowls, at least one touchdown has been scored. Even in low-scoring games, teams have always found the end zone at least once.

The closest we’ve come to a minimal touchdown game was Super Bowl 53, when the Patriots edged the Rams 13-3. Sony Michel’s two-yard run was the only touchdown of the night. That game remains the single-touchdown Super Bowl in NFL history, a stark reminder that even in the most defensive battles, someone eventually finds the end zone.
Other low-scoring classics include Super Bowl 7, where the Dolphins beat Washington 14-7 and Super Bowl 9, which saw the Steelers take a 16-6 victory over the Vikings. Each of these games was defined by defensive dominance, punishing the offenses at nearly every turn. They are often remembered for their intensity, strategic plays and the tension of each drive, rather than high-scoring fireworks.
What makes this matter today is how rare it is for a game of this magnitude to be so tightly contested. Fans expect drama, but seeing the scoreboard stalled like this highlights the sheer power of elite defenses. It also shifts strategy, forcing coaches to rely on field goals, time management and calculated risks to stay in the game. For players, it’s a test of patience and precision under the brightest lights.
Super Bowls are usually remembered for big plays, iconic touchdowns and highlight reels that last decades. But tonight, we’re watching history unfold in a different way. A game without a touchdown would defy expectations and create a unique chapter in NFL lore.
Keep your eyes on every drive, every sack, every field goal attempt, because this defensive duel could redefine what a championship battle looks like. Stay tuned, follow the updates closely and watch how this rare, score-heavy strategy shapes the outcome of one of the biggest sporting events on the planet.
