The Dallas Cowboys win over the Detroit Lions, 5-0, in January 1970 is the lowest-scoring NFL playoff game ever. It remains the only playoff game with fewer than seven combined points.

It’s one of four games in NFL playoff history with 10 or fewer combined points, all of which occurred at least 40 years ago.
