Has a team ever won with field goals, while the other scores at least 1 touchdown?

I know it’s possible but I’ve been trying to figure it out?

Have there ever been an 9-7, 12-7, 12-10, 15-14, etc type games where a team never scores a touchdown, the other team scores at least one, but the team that never scored a touchdown ends up winning with field goals anyway?

I’m still flummoxed by how Iowa won 7-3 without scoring a touchdown

1950: Ohio State-Michigan

Michigan won the game 9-3 without making a single 1st down.

They punted 24 times.

Pretty sure the Saints won this way when Mora was the coach and Morten Anderson was the kicker.

I wonder if a team not scoring a touchdown has ever beaten a team that scored two?

For example, 5 field goals and win 15-14 against two touchdowns and two extra points

Steelers vs Chiefs in the playoffs (Alex Smith era) 18-16

Chiefs had 2tds and 1fg (failed 2pt conv in 4th) and Steelers only scored on fgs.

Box score

It's happened several times.

But what's really crazy is that in 1989 the Vikings beat the Rams 23-21. The Rams scored 3 touchdowns. The Vikings kicked 7 field goals and then won the game with a last second safety.

Has a team ever won with Safeties only, while the other scores at least 4 touchdowns?
