Has there ever been a team to do it 3 weeks in a row?
In the olden times
Most Consecutive Shutout Games Won or Tied
13Akron, 1920-21 (won 10, tied 3)
7Pottsville, 1926 (won 6, tied 1)
Detroit, 1934 (won 7)
6Buffalo, 1920-21 (won 5, tied 1)
Frankford, 1926 (won 6)
Detroit, 1926 (won 4, tied 2)
N.Y. Giants, 1926-27 (won 5, tied 1)
Yeah but that's back when a blowout was 10-3.
Wonder how many times the Raiders and then Redskins were inside the Rams' red zone. Did either team even try a field goal?
Yep, only the 1970 Cards and 1976 Steelers
Oh, and before anyone gets on the "yeabut" trip, the Steelers 3 shutouts in a row all came against teams with losing records, too. So, it wasn't like they dominated playoff teams to get their shutout, either. One of their 5 shutouts for the season came against the 0-14 Buccaneers who were historically inept.
Just for historical perspective.
What the Rams have done is historic and especially in this current environment where the rules so favor the offense, for ANY defense to pitch consecutive shutouts is fantastic.
I don't recall Seattle pitching consecutive shutouts with their stifling D... and they've played almost our same schedule...
Raiders and Redskins were never in red zone
