It was a humbling week for NFL teams

New England won at Pittsburgh.
The “Lions” lost in Chicago.
The Fast Planes played like it was 1969 against Houston.
…Wait, I didn’t see this: Two NFL teams played a game that ended 3-0? Blink. Minnesota beat Las Vegas 3-0 in Vegas. Oh my God.
The Swift Chiefs lost at home with Taylor present 20-17.
And the CowMEN humbled the Pigeons 33-13.

What is going on with scoring in the NFL? 


Vikings beat Raiders 3-0 in lowest-scoring NFL game in 16 years


LAS VEGAS -- — The brand of football Minnesota and Las Vegas played on Sunday set the NFL back 16 years.

Only Greg Joseph's 36-yard field goal with 1:57 left [!] that gave the Vikings a 3-0 victory over the Raiders prevented the teams from setting the league back 80 years.

“It is shocking.—“Raiders” head coach Antonio Pierce.

Well, having written recently that if the NFL doesn’t do something about scoring it’s in trouble, this is just the exclamation point.
