Scorigami is one of football’s greatest nuances. Thought of by Jon Bois, Scorigami describes “the art of building final scores that have never happened before in NFL history,” according to its host website.
Here, we’ll track every instance of Scorigami throughout the 2020 NFL season.
2020 Scorigami count: 11
Teams with most 2020 Scorigamis: 7 tied (Browns, Dolphins, Bills, Lions, Titans, Saints, Vikings; 2)
Playoffs
Cleveland Browns 48, Pittsburgh Steelers 37
The Browns pummeled the Steelers in the opening round of the NFL playoffs. Upon early misery for the Steelers’ offense led to quick scores for Cleveland, the game got out of hand quickly. Up 28-0 after one quarter, the Bills refused to slow down. Baker Mayfield tossed for three touchdowns while Kareem Hunt scored twice himself. On the other side, the Steelers tried to play catch-up. Ben Roethlisberger threw for 501 yards and four scores, but he was also picked off on four of his 68 pass attempts. Pittsburgh was eliminated and the match finished with the 1,066th unique score of all-time.
Week 17
Buffalo Bills 56, Miami Dolphins 26
The Bills demolished Miami in the final week of the season, ultimately kicking them out of playoff contention despite their 10-6 record. For Buffalo, Josh Allen and Matt Barkley each passed for two touchdowns. Gabriel Davis posted 107 yards and a score while John Brown added a touchdown and Isaiah McKenzie found the end zone twice. Depth running back Antonio Williams also broke out for 68 yards and a pair of scores. Dean Marlowe finished with two interceptions while Josh Norman had a pick-six. Meanwhile, for Miami, Tua Tagovailoa tossed for 361 yards but he found the end zone just once, being picked off three times in the process.
Week 16
Miami Dolphins 26, Las Vegas Raiders 25
The Dolphins traveled to Las Vegas and edged out the Raiders in a Saturday night thriller. With under a minute left, Raiders head coach Jon Gruden made a confusing decision to kick a red-zone field goal instead of attempting to score a touchdown. It came back to bite him because, with just seconds left, relief quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick mounted an incredible drive to set up a game-winning kick from Jason Sanders. This is the 1,064th unique final score in NFL history.
New Orleans Saints 52, Minnesota Vikings 33
The Saints hosted the Vikings on Christmas Day and cruised to victory. Alvin Kamara scored six times, tying an NFL record for the most rushing touchdowns in a single game. While the Vikings had a big offensive showing of their own, it was not nearly enough to stop a dominant Saints squad. This is the 1,063rd unique final score in NFL history.
Week 15
Tennessee Titans 46, Detroit Lions 25
The red-hot Titans hosted a struggling Lions team in Week 15, and Tennessee did not disappoint. Ryan Tannehill finished with three passing and two rushing touchdowns, while Derrick Henry added 152 yards and a score of his own. Marvin Jones and D’Andre Swift had big games for the Lions, but it was not enough as they lost by three scores. This is the 1,062nd unique final score in NFL history.
Week 14
Baltimore Ravens 47, Cleveland Browns 42
This high-scoring thriller featured a total of 12 touchdowns, with nine of them coming on the ground. Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield, Gus Edwards, Nick Chubb, and Kareem Hunt each finished with a pair of scores. After scoring just 20 points through the first three quarters, the Browns mounted a fourth-quarter comeback but came up just shy. This is the 1,061st unique final score in NFL history.
