    One of my fave sports trivia questions: What is the most points scored by an NFL (American Football) team in one game without scoring a touchdown?

    Question #120862. Asked by Spaudrey. (Mar 25 11 4:11 PM)

    		23 by Minnesota Vikings in 1989

    For the first time since the league adopted sudden-death overtime in 1973 (154 games), OT was decided by a safety. Minnesota linebacker Mike Merriweather blocked a punt out of the end zone: Vikings 23, Los Angeles Rams 21. (By the way, the Vikings were believed to be the first team to score more than 21 points without a touchdown. Rich Karlis booted seven field goals, tying the NFL record, and setting a mark for consecutive kicks without a miss in a single game.)

    		Very good. Watched this game live at my college, and once Karlis broke the record for FG's made, I realized with the safety that no team had ever scored this many points without a TD.
