Most lopsided (combined final score) regular season SWEEPS?
Posted: Sun Nov 12, 2023 8:56 pm
Big D just completed a Monstrous SWEEP over NYG by a combined, 89-17!!
IS THIS the Worst Ever, I asked??
Nothing of real similarity comes to mind without me rolling up my sleeves and diving.
But 1948 came to mind for some reason. So I looked at the Cardinals. Nothing of worth.
And then I looked at the EAGLES - and there were a couple...
Beating...the GIANTS by a combined 80-14!
and
Washington, 97-21!!
So I guess that latter of the two tops what Dallas just did!
As was the case in each sweep just mentioned, those World Champ Eagles also beat the Boston Yanks by a 45-0 score! Just one thing though - in their rematch, the 2-win Yanks beat Philly, 37-14, at Fenway in their final game but it was the Eagles' penultimate game (kind of like the 2-win Colts beating '73 Dolphins in their next-to-last week). In addition to those three 45-0 victories, the Eagles beat the Lions in their finale, 45-21. FIVE total games in which they score more than 40 points! They winning-it-all in '48? Makes sense!
Anyway, back to the actual subject - is there anything that actually tops 45-0 then 42-21 as those '48 Eagles did?
Or worthy mentions?
Next stops for me...''60 Cowboys, '69 Steelers, '76 Bucs, '78/'79 Forty Niners...(and something tells me I won't find anything worthy)....
