The brand of football Minnesota Vikings and Antonio Pierce’s Las Vegas Raiders 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 was the first 3 - 0 game since Pittsburgh beat Miami on November 26th, 2007, the third in the past 40 years and the seventh in the Super Bowl era. The last game that ended regulation scoreless was a 0 - 0 tie between the New York Giants and Detroit Lions on November 7th, 1943.
