While possible in most major sports, they are highly improbable in some sports, such as basketball. Shutouts are usually seen as a result of effective defensive play even though a weak opposing offense may be as much to blame.

Keeping an opponent scoreless in American football requires a team's defense to be able to consistently shut down both pass and run offenses over the course of a game.

The range of NFL caliber kickers makes it possible for a team with a weak offense to get close enou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
