7 straight shutouts by the 1934 Detroit Lions

They opened their franchise with 7 straight shutout wins.

Nov. 4, 1934 - An incredible streak finally came to an end when Pittsburgh scored the first points ever by an opponent. In the first seven games of Detroit's brief team history, the Lions had outscored their opposition by the unbelievable tally of 118-0.
