Cincinnati Reds (NFL)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cincinnati Reds were a National Football League team that played the 1933 season and the first eight games of the 1934 season. The team was suspended for failure to pay league dues. The St. Louis Gunners, an independent team, replaced the Reds on the schedule for the last three games of the 1934 season.

The Reds hold the dubious distinction of having the two lowest season scoring totals in NFL history. In 1933 they scored 38 points in 10 games, tying the 1942 Detroit Lions for second on that list. In 1934 the Reds and Gunners combined for only 37 points in 11 games^[1] with the Reds, themselves, scoring only 10 points in 8 games before their suspension.^[2] By comparison, the 75 points scored by the Reds and Gunners in 21 games over two seasons only exceed by two the 73 points scored by the Chicago Bears in the 1940 NFL Championship Game and by three the 72 points scored by the Washington Redskins on November 27, 1966, the record for points scored by a team in a Regular Season game.
