Lowest scoring series

Points precious when Steelers meet Browns

Pittsburgh plays at Cleveland on Sunday, and that usually means a defensive struggle. When these teams have played in the last five years (that's 10 meetings), there has been an average of only 30.2 points scored, making it the lowest-scoring series in the league.

That's among divisional rivalries. There are 48 different divisional matchups around the league.

Really, any team two teams from the AFC North get together, the result tends to be a lower-scoring, slugfest kind of game.

Of the eight lowest-scoring divisional rivalries, five of them are from the AFC North.
