What are some of the all-time worst numbers?
Since teams started playing at least 14 games, the greatest point differential is owned by the fabulous Tampa Bay Bootineers of 1976 (of course!)
Boots 125-412 that's 287 whopping points. The Lambs would have to get beat 49 points for them to tie that. C'mon, Lambs!
The Lowest point total for a season (14 games or more) that I could find was:
Atlanta Falcons clocking in at 111 in 1974. That's 7.9 points per game. Barely a TD a game.
The Falcs had a 3-11 record that year, NOT the worst in the league.
And though you may think the Rams should own the most points ever scored in 2001, it's the Pats in 2007 with 589. The year the Rams got 503 they were more than 200 points ahead of the next team.
The Pats 2007 season was record-breaking on many fronts. That is why the Giants squeaker victory in the Superbowl was so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI can still see Eli, scramblin' like Tarkenton for the Giants (he did play there), and hurling that prayer. That's my favorite Super Bowl finish (the 49ers turned in a couple great finishes, too, but right now the Giants one stands out to me).
