the reds hold the dubious distinction of having the two lowest officially recognized 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 with the reds, themselves, scoring only 10 points in 8 games before their suspension. the franchise was shut out in twelve of its eighteen games. by comparison, the 75 points scored by the reds and gunners in 21 games over two seasons only exceed the 73 points scored by the chicago bears in the 1940 nfl championship game by two, 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. further, the 1950 los angeles rams "averaged" 38.83 points "per game", the highest such average in nfl history.
