Okay, I looked it up. Since the major passing rule changes of 1977, there have been 11 times where one team had 7 or fewer passing attempts (counting today). However, this was only the third time it's happened since 1983, with the last instance being a Chris Weinke Carolina win over the Falcons in 2006.
Three of the 11 games featured the Bears as the non-passing team, oddly enough.
Interestingly the teams with the small number of attempts are 10-1 in those 11 games, with the only loss occurring in overtime. They've all been low-scoring affairs, with the winning score being a median of 14 points and the losing score being a median of 3 points. Essentially, they were all cases where the non-passing team's defense was completely shutting down the opponent.
