Unreal stat in yesterday's Jets-Dolphins game
Fins had only 5 1st downs yet won the game.
Is that a record for least number of 1st downs by a winning team?

According to wiki, three teams that had zero 1st downs won their games. Incredible.
There have been 5 games in NFL history where a team did not make a first down:
1) New York Giants against the Green Bay Packers in 1933.
2) Pittsburgh Pirates against the Boston Redskins in 1933.
3) Philadelphia Eagles against the Detroit Lions in 1935.
4) New York Giants against the Washington Redskins in 1942.
5) Denver Broncos against the Houston Oilers in 1966.
Incredibly, the Giants won both their games that they made 0 first downs and so did the Pirates. The Eagles and Broncos were blown out in their games.
