Scorigami

Scorigami is a concept thought up by Jon Bois. It is the art of building final scores that have never happened before in NFL history. Due to the unique nature of how points are scored in (American) Football, where it is impossible to score 1 point on its own, as well as the rarity of the 2 point safety and 8 point touchdown and 2 point conversion, there are a lot of scores that are possible, but have never happened.

Found this while trying to figure out if, like 19 in cribbage, there is an impossible score in NFL rules football.

It shows all possible score combinations and which have happened - or not.

Technically, a team can score any number (til a team can have a score of 1). But, games cannot have certain scores. A 2-2 game is possible, but has never happened. 1-(1 to 5) is impossible. But 6-1 is.

    Yeah, I probably misunderstood the whole how to.

    Sorry.

    The fact that’s possible is still weird.
