"In a struggle between two classic NFL defenses - Pittsburgh's Steel Curtain vs. Minnesota's Purple People Eaters - the only first-half points midway through the second quarter. On second and 7 from his own 10-yard line, Vikings quarterback Fran Tarkenton lost the ball and had to fall on it in the Vikings' end zone. He was touched by Steelers defensive end Dwight White, who was credited with the sack."
"The Seattle Seahawks lead the New England Patriots 6-0 late in the second quarter of Super Bowl LX on a pair of field goals by kicker Jason Myers. That's a pretty low score - but it wouldn't be the lowest halftime score in Super Bowl history. It's actually three times more than the lowest halftime score in the big game's history, which came in Super Bowl IX following the 1974 season."
Seattle led New England 6-0 late in the second quarter of Super Bowl LX on two field goals by Jason Myers. Historically, the lowest Super Bowl halftime score is 2-0 after Super Bowl IX following the 1974 season, when a safety resulted from Vikings quarterback Fran Tarkenton losing the ball and being touched by Steelers defensive end Dwight White. That safety produced the only first-half points; Pittsburgh held the 2-0 halftime lead and won 16-6, the first of four Super Bowl victories in a six-year span. After the 2018 season, New England led Los Angeles 3-0 at halftime in Super Bowl LIII on a 42-yard Stephen Gostkowski field goal.
