Has There Ever Been an NFL Game With No Flags?

There have been just four pro football games with no penalties, all between 1934 and 1940. The last came when the Steelers beat the Eagles 7-3 in 1940. Earlier flag-free games included the Brooklyn Dodgers, Boston Redskins, and Pittsburgh Pirates. Nearly a century later, with penalties at record highs, the NFL hasn’t seen another game without a flag.
