The Denver Broncos made NFL history with their 29-12 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon.
“Scorigami” is a term that was made up by Jon Bois to describe a final score that has never happened before in NFL history. Football fans have become big fans of the concept, so much so that there are now websites and Twitter/X pages that track the possibilities of “scorigamis” each week.
Aided by a relatively rare safety and a failed two-point attempt, the Broncos and Browns ended up with a 29-12 scoreline on Sunday, marking — you guessed it — a scorigami! Denver’s win over Cleveland marked the 1,081st unique final score in NFL history.
This is not the first time the Broncos have achieved such a feat this season, but they’d certainly like to forget the first time. Denver’s 70-20 blowout loss to the Miami Dolphins earlier this season was also a scorigami.
Broncos coach Sean Payton had a funny response after being informed of the phenomenon following Sunday’s win.
“I like the second scorigami,” the coach quipped, a reference to the 70-20 scorigami earlier this year.
Asking Coach about the physical nature of his team. Why they respond so well to that challenge and if he’s heard of Scorigami (a unique football final score. Broncos have two this year) funny response by Payton @AltitudeSR pic.twitter.com/VMyL8UEdHU
