Dolphins’ win vs. Jets was first 32-26 game in NFL history

Scorigami!

The Miami Dolphins and New York Jets combined for “Scorigami” on Sunday.

With an overtime touchdown, the Dolphins escaped a tight Week 14 battle with a 32-26 win. That’s the first time in NFL history that a team has won a game by that exact score.

Scorigami is a concept created by Jon Bois, a sports content producer at SB Nation. It tracks every unique final score to ever happen and the many combinations of scores that haven’t yet occurred. The Dolphins’ win is the fifth Scorigami of the 2024 NFL season. The last was the Detroit Lions’ 52-6 blowout of the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11.

The Dolphins are no strangers to Scorigami. Last year, they led all teams with three final scores that had never happened before. Miami was on the right side of two of them: a 70-20 win against the Denver Broncos and a 45-15 win against the Washington Commanders. But the Dolphins were on the losing end of the last Scorigami of the 2023 season: a 56-19 win for the Baltimore Ravens on New Year’s Eve.

Dolphins 32, Jets 26 = Scorigami

The Dolphins and Jets combined for an NFL first

The Miami Dolphins scored nine points on their last two drives, at the end of regulation and in overtime, to defeat the New York Jets, 32-26 in overtime on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium.

The final score was an NFL first also known as Scorigam.

Yes, folks there had never been a 32-26 final in NFL history until Sunday.

Broncos-Browns was not a Scorigami, but the game did make history

41-32 was not a Scorigami (it happened one other time in NFL history), but the Broncos-Browns game was still historic.

The Denver Broncos defeated the Cleveland Browns 41-32 on Monday Night Football in Week 13. That’s not a typical scoreline, but it surprisingly was not a Scorigami (a first-ever final score).

Monday marked the second time in NFL history that a game ended 41-32. The last time featured the Miami Dolphins defeating the Boston Patriots way back in 1967.

“Holy cow,” Broncos coach Sean Payton said after the wild game. “Some games go in a direction you think they are going to go. Obviously that one went in a much different direction. We did enough and made enough plays in the end to win.”

Though the final score was not a Scorigami, Denver did make some history on Monday night. NFL teams were 5-41 in the last decade when allowing at least 550 yards. The Broncos allowed 552 yards to the Browns and improved that record to 6-41.

Denver quarterback Bo Nix also made history with a 93-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Marvin Mims, the longest completion by a rookie in franchise history.

“It was a different game,” Payton said. “We have to learn from it. It is good to get the win, which is important because we are at that time of the season into December here where all these things matter. We were able to do that. We are going to rest up during the bye and get ready for an Indianapolis team.”

The Broncos have a bye in Week 14 before hosting the Colts in Week 15.

Saints narrowly avoided making ‘Scorigami’ NFL history

The Saints narrowly avoided making ‘Scorigami’ history on Sunday in their loss to the Chargers. Hopefully next week they’ll be the ones scoring all the points;

The New Orleans Saints have narrowly avoided making NFL ‘Scorigami’ history on Sunday in the 26-8 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

It’s an oddity of a final score, but it is indeed not the first time it has ever happened. ‘Scorigami’ is defined as when it is the first time a score of its type has ever been recorded in NFL history. The Saints did clinch one earlier this season.

This is still notable, though, considering that it’s the first time a game ended with this score since 1978. It’s just the third time in NFL history this happened.

So, how exactly did we get here?

The Saints got to the scoreboard first with a safety, leading 2-0 at the beginning of the game. But things quickly spiraled out of control as the game went on a 26-6 run in the following three quarters of the game. A missed PAT by the Chargers also contributed to such a strange final score.

Next week, the Saints will hope to be the ones scoring all of the points. But that has not been the case to this point and it is going to take some major fixing on the offensive side of the ball for them to get there.

Lions 47, Cowboys 9 = Scorigami

The Lions’ win over the Cowboys was the first time an NFL game finished 47-9

The final score of the Detroit Lions’ romp over the Dallas Cowboys was unique in NFL history.

The 47-9 finish was the first time an NFL game had ended with that score.

And it means: Scorigami.

Saints 44, Cowboys 19 = Scorigami

The Saints-Cowboys final score had never happened in NFL history

The Saints beat the Cowboys on Sunday, 44-19.

And you know what that means: Scorigami.

The first time in NFL history a game finished with that score.

In case you are wondering Chiefs 26, Bengals 25 was the third time that final score happened.

Saints made ‘Scorigami’ history in Week 2 win vs. Cowboys

The Saints made ‘Scorigami’ history in their Week 2 win vs. Cowboys. It’s the first time an NFL game has ended with this score:

https://twitter.com/NFL_Scorigami/status/1835407666346098903

The New Orleans Saints made ‘Scorigami’ history in their Week 2 win over  the Dallas Cowboys. It’s the first time an NFL game has ended with this score — a margin of 44-19. How did we get here?

It took six Saints touchdowns (four of them from Alvin Kamara), a blocked point-after attempt against the Saints and too many kicks by Dallas, who settled for four field goals. But that extra point try going awry is what made this win auspicious. There hasn’t been a final tally like this in the history of the NFL.

But the Saints are more concerned with their 2-0 record than the dominance of this 25-point upset. That’s what will make the difference in the division standings and, maybe, playoff seeding later this season. Dennis Allen’s team is proving many of its doubters wrong through the first two weeks. Let’s see them keep it up.

Unfortunately, Broncos’ 27-2 win over Packers was not a scorigami

Unfortunately, the Broncos’ 27-2 preseason win over the Packers on Sunday night was not a scorigami.

The Denver Broncos made NFL history with two scorigamis last season (including one they would like to forget).

The Broncos had another uncommon final score when they defeated the Green Bay Packers 27-2 in Week 2 of NFL preseason on Sunday night. While uncommon, it was not unique. No scorigami.

That score has happened once before in the NFL when the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Chicago Cardinals 27-2 on Dec. 22, 1957.

“Scorigami” is a term coined by Jon Bois to describe a final score that has never happened before in NFL history. Unfortunately, the victory over Green Bay did not meet that criteria.

After humbling the Packers last week, the Broncos are now set to host the Arizona Cardinals in their preseason finale this week.

Following the final week of preseason action, Denver will have until Aug. 27 to trim the squad from 91 players down to a 53-man roster. We will track all of the team’s roster cuts on Broncos Wire.

All three Super Bowl ‘Scorigamis’ involved the Broncos

The Super Bowl has ended with a “scorigamis” three times, and all three games involved the Broncos (trigger warning).

Football fans have become enthusiastic about “scorigamis” in recent seasons — final scores that have never happened before in NFL history. The concept was thought up and popularized by Jon Bois and it is now tracked weekly each season.

As NFL blogger Samson T. Beard has pointed out, only three Super Bowls have had a “scorigami” — a unique score in NFL history — and the Denver Broncos were involved in all three. (Trigger warning ahead.)

The first Super Bowl scorigami happened in 1987 when the New York Giants defeated the Broncos 39-20 in Super Bowl XXI. It gets worse.

The second Super Bowl scorigami happened in 1990 when the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Broncos 55-10 in Super Bowl XXIV.

The third and most recent Super Bowl scorigami happened in 2014 when the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Broncos 43-8 in Super Bowl XLVIII.

That’s some NFL trivia fans in Denver would like to forget.

The Broncos were on the winning side of a scorigami when they defeated the Cleveland Browns 29-12 in November. Unfortunately, Denver’s 70-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins in September was also a scorigami. You can’t win ’em all — just ask the Broncos.
