Blackburn have joined Middlesbrough in the relegation zone after a goalless draw at the Riverside.
Chances were few and far between, although Rovers substitute Jason Roberts could have won the game with a header in the fifth minute of injury time.
The game came to life in the second half after an uneventful first period which saw Adam Johnson going the closest with a fizzing strike from 20 yards out.
David Dunn made Boro 'keeper Brad Jones work on two occasions after the break, but the Australian - who replaced the dropped Ross Turnbull - was equal to both strikes.
Boro looked at their most dangerous on the counter attack, with Stewart Downing and Adam Johnson causing the majority of the problems for a Rovers defence led by captain Ryan Nelsen.
At the other end, Tugay went close for the visitors but Roberts could have won the game in stoppage time when his header from six yards out was saved by a diving Jones.
