What is a NFL shutout?

Answer 1

A shutout occurs when one pitcher pitches a complete game without allowing any runs. If another pitcher comes in, neither is awarded a shutout, but the team can be said to have "shutout" the opposing team.

Answer 2

That is a term for a team that does not score any runs in a game.

A shut out in most any sport is when you hold the other team to 0 points.
