It's an uncommon feat, but it has been done. There have been fifty different occasions since the AFL-NFL merger (the one that formed the NFL as we know it today) where one team has gone penalty-free for an entire game; the most recent such performance was by the New England Patriots against the St. Louis Rams on October 26, 2008. A rarer feat is a game in which _both teams_ have gone penalty-free. This has happened only four times in NFL history, and zero times since the AFL-NFL merger. The NFL's Four Penalty-Free Games: Brooklyn vs. Pittsburgh, Oct. 28, 1934 Brooklyn vs. Boston, Sept. 28, 1936 Cleveland vs. Chi. Bears, Oct. 9, 1938 Pittsburgh vs. Philadelphia, Nov. 10, 1940 www.projo.com/patriots/content/projo_20081028_penalty_free.157fe9b91.html www.nfl.com/history/randf/records/team/penalties
