The Top 20 Biggest Shutouts in NFL History
The Seattle Seahawks Whupped the Arizona Cardinals 58-0, One of the NFL’s Biggest Shutouts of All Time
The Seattle Seahawks just posted one of the biggest shutouts in NFL history – the 10th biggest – when they summarily dispatched the Arizona Cardinals 58-0 a couple weeks ago.
A score like that is very rare today, despite the NFL’s continuing evolution to a game of high-scoring air assaults. Perhaps that is why it is difficult to pin a team down to a goose egg.
Most of these regular-season blowouts below occurred back in the 1920′s and 1930′s.
