The Cowboys defense hasn't allowed a touchdown in the team's last three regular season games.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the last time the club could boast of such a streak was in 1973-74.

In 1973, the Cowboys finished the regular season by beating Washington 27-7 and St. Louis 30-3. In the 1974 opener, Dallas blanked Atlanta 24-0.

I wonder what the NFL record is?

That's very impressive. Keeping Chicago out of the end zone certainly wont be easy. They killed themselves with turnovers last week. They're going to spread us out and throw it around. Our pass rush must show up tomorrow.

I'm not sure. For some reason I want to say 9 games by the Ravens back in 2000?

Come on?

If they really did that they are way better than I thought they were.

I didn't dig into all the box scores to see how the other teams scored.

This is consecutive games, not total games.

The longest the Ravens' defense went without allowing a touchdown in 2000 was two games, although they did make it three straight in the first game of 2001 before allowing two in the next game (to Jon Kitna).

That 2000 Ravens D was epic.

That 2000 Ravens D was epic.

I knew that, but not 9 games in a row w/o an offensive TD as was suggested.

 

[The Realist]

Ravens 2000 D.

7 games where they gave up 3 points or less.

I didn't check box scores to see if the other teams had ST TD's or scored on D.
