The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks are locked in a defensive battle during Super Bowl 60.
At the end of the first half, the Seahawks lead the game 9-0. Seattle’s sacked Patriots quarterback Drake Maye three times in what’s been a tough evening so far for New England.
After their first drive, things haven’t been easy for Seattle’s offense either. The Seahawks’ first drive marched the team down the field quickly but they could not cross the goal line for a score.
It’s been a game full of field goals so far. It’s hardly the first low-scoring Super Bowl; Super Bowl 9 between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings was a 2-0 affair at the break.
But have we ever gone without a touchdown in the championship game? Here’s what to know.
Has there ever been a Super Bowl without a touchdown?
No. Each of the last 59 Super Bowls in NFL history have included at least one touchdown.
It’s very rare for only one touchdown to be scored in the Super Bowl. Only one championship game has featured just one touchdown in NFL history: Super Bowl 53 between the Patriots and Los Angeles Rams. Sony Michel’s two-yard touchdown run was the highlight of the 13-3 result.
