Is there an NFL game Saturday? What to know about the conference championships

What to know about the conference

games are known for being back and forth encounters where teams one up each other on the scoreboard in search of victory.

 

 

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs play in the AFC championship game against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

 

 

 

However, there have been times when both teams struggle to reach the endzone, resulting in low scoring games, or even no scoring.

As per Pro Football Reference, 73 games in pro football history have ended in a 0-0 tie. However, the last time that took place was almost 80 years ago, meaning there’s been no scoreless ties in the Super Bowl era.With the game taking place in the middle of World War II, many NFL players were overseas after being drafted. As a result, the two teams played with diminished rosters, and the scoreline was proof of that.

The fact that it rained and field conditions were subpar didn’t help matters, as fields didn’t have the sophisticated drainage systems that are now taken for granted. As a result, the rain created problems for both teams, with mud slowing them down at every turn.

Thank you for watching

 

In total the two teams combined for just nine first downs and 214 yards, which isn’t all that surprising considering the game featured 77 running plays and 16 pass attempts.

Back then the single-wing offence was dominant, meaning scoreless ties were an all too common occurrence. One the T-formation took over in the 1940s, scoring increased as teams found the end zone with more regularity.
