If you were Googling, "Has there ever been a Super Bowl WITHOUT a touchdown?" yesterday . . . you weren't alone.
There were NO touchdowns scored through three quarters yesterday, but then there were FOUR scored in the fourth . . . two by each team. But one team also had FIVE field goals . . . and the other had NONE.
The Seattle Seahawks destroyed the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 60 yesterday, 29-to-13 . . . but Seattle kicker Jason Myers was the only one to score until the final quarter.
Seattle was up 3-0 after one . . . 9-0 at halftime . . . and 12-0 after three. At that point, people started Googling about a potential, historic shutout.
For the record: There has never been a Super Bowl without a touchdown . . . there has never been a shutout in the Super Bowl . . . and with the late offensive surge, the lowest-scoring Super Bowl in history will still be the 2019 Super Bowl, where the Patriots beat the Los Angeles Rams, 13-3.
Speaking of 2019, that was the year that Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold made the infamous comment that he was "seeing ghosts." Darnold was with the New York Jets at the time, but that game was also against the Patriots.
Darnold "seeing ghosts" became a meme, but he was finally able to do some ghost-busting in the Super Bowl . . . while his opponent, Patriots QB Drake Maye, struggled to get ANYTHING going against Seattle's defense.
Darnold was not the MVP, though. Seattle running back Kenneth Walker the Third was named the Super Bowl MVP.

It was well-deserved. For most of the game, he was the only player, on either side, gaining any yardage. He finished with 135 yards on 27 carries . . . plus 26 yards on two catches.
This win was revenge for the Seahawks and their fans, The 12s . . . (or "the 12th man") . . . after they LOST to the Patriots in the Super Bowl 11 years ago.
In that one, Tom Brady and the Patriots came back from behind to defeat Russell Wilson and the Seahawks 28-to-24. That was when the Seahawks decided throw from the 1-yard line, rather than giving it to Marshawn Lynch.
This was the 10th Super Bowl rematch in NFL history . . . and the winner of the first meeting is now 6-4 in the second meeting.

10 Fun Facts from Super Bowl 60
After last night's big game, we ventured out into the internet in search of some trivia and interesting facts on Super Bowl 60. Here's what we came up with:
1. The Seahawks were 4.5-point favorites coming into the game. And they broke a streak of UNDERDOGS winning three straight Super Bowls.
2. The Patriots were wearing white jerseys AND white pants . . . a combination they've never worn in the Super Bowl.
Over the past 22 years, including this year, the team wearing WHITE has gone 16-6 . . . but they've lost three straight.
3. The Seahawks were winning 9-0 heading into halftime . . . which means that teams are now 0-15 in Super Bowl history when scoreless at the half.
4. The Seahawks only trailed for 1 minute and 35 seconds this ENTIRE POSTSEASON. That's the 5th-least amount of time trailing by any Super Bowl champion . . . and it hasn't been done in 35 years.
5. The Seahawks are the first Super Bowl champion to go their ENTIRE POSTSEASON run without committing a turnover.
6. The Seahawks went 11-0 across the entire season when scoring first . . . regular season and postseason. They're the ONLY team this season to go unbeaten when scoring first.
7. Sam Darnold has become the first quarterback to win a Super Bowl after playing for at least five different teams. He was with the Minnesota Vikings last year, but they passed on bringing him back this season.
He started out with the New York Jets, and has also played for the Carolina Panthers, and the San Francisco 49ers.
8. Some people were surprised that the Seahawks and the Patriots ended up in the Super Bowl . . . but this is the first match-up where both teams ranked in the top four in regular-season scoring offense AND regular-season scoring defense.
9. The Patriots were appearing in their 12th Super Bowl, the most of any franchise. In fact, no other team has more than eight appearances. New England was looking for its seventh Super Bowl win, which would pass the Pittsburgh Steelers for most all-time . . . but it wasn't meant to be.
Overall, the Patriots are now 6-6 in Super Bowls . . . meaning they've now lost more Super Bowls than any other team, too.
By the way, Seattle's Super Bowl record is now 2-2.
10. A lot of football fans were caught in the middle . . . and watched the Super Bowl without rooting for either team.
If you were LITERALLY and PHYSICALLY halfway between Seattle and Foxborough, Massachusetts . . . you'd be in Fergus Falls, Minnesota.
