Scorigami is one of football’s greatest nuances. Created 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 2023 NFL season.

Week 17
Baltimore Ravens 56, Miami Dolphins 19
The Ravens stayed ultra-hot in Week 17. Fresh off a drubbing of the 49ers, they shut down the Dolphins at home. Despite attempting just 18 passes, Lamar Jackson amassed 321 passing yards and five touchdowns. Zay Flowers eclipsed 100 yards while running backs Gus Edwards, Justice Hill, and Melvin Gordon were all productive in their respective roles. For Miami, De’Von Achane was the biggest contributor with 137 scrimmage yards and one receiving touchdown. Baltimore held Tua Tagovailoa to just 237 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions.

Week 15
Las Vegas Raiders 63, Los Angeles Chargers 21
Calls for the Chargers to fire head coach Brandon Staley grew louder after this abysmal showing on Thursday night. On the other side of the field, it was an exciting night for Antonio Pierce, whose Raiders bounced back in a big way after losing 3-0 just four days earlier. In this one, eight different Raiders players scored a touchdown, aided by rookie Aidan O’Connell‘s four passing touchdowns in the first half. Tre Tucker scored twice while Davante Adams added 101 yards and a touchdown of his own. Los Angeles football fans will surely place some of the blame on a dire quarterback situation; Justin Herbert‘s season-ending injury forced Easton Stick to make his first career start in Week 15. Excuses aside, this one was ugly.

Week 13
Miami Dolphins 45, Washington Commanders 15
The Dolphins absolutely took care of business against the Commanders. Tyreek Hill‘s MVP-caliber season continued as he tallied 157 yards and two touchdowns. De’Von Achane also eclipsed triple-digit scrimmage yards and scored twice. For Washington, Sam Howell had an uncharacteristically poor performance with 127 passing yards, zero touchdowns, one interception, and three sacks. Terry McLaurin told reporters that he was running cardio with zero catches on three targets.
Week 12
Denver Broncos 29, Cleveland Browns 12
Both teams had some paralleling offensive performances on Sunday. Russell Wilson and Dorian Thompson-Robinson each had 134 passing yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, Javonte Williams and Jerome Ford each totaled 65 rushing yards. One thing that wasn’t similar? Each team’s score. Denver more than doubled Cleveland as it extended its winning streak to five games. Turnovers decided this contest as Browns fumbled three times en route to an ugly loss.

Week 9
Houston Texans 39, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 37
C.J. Stroud led Houston to an enormous comeback win versus Tampa Bay, all while setting the single-game record for most passing yards by a rookie. The No. 2 pick torched the Bucs for 470 yards, five touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Three different players totaled 100-plus receiving yards and four players caught at least one touchdown pass. Tight end Dalton Schultz led the way with 10 catches, 130 yards, and a score. Another key storyline came at the kicker position. After Ka’imi Fairbairn was ruled out with an injury, running back Dare Ogunbowale handled kick-off duties and even converted a field goal attempt. As for the Bucs, Rachaad White and Cade Otton each found the end zone twice, but it wasn’t enough.
Week 8
Dallas Cowboys 43, Los Angeles Rams 20
The Cowboys absolutely handled the Rams in Week 8, jumping out to an early 33-3 lead and never looking back. CeeDee Lamb had a career day, catching 12 passes for 158 yards and two touchdowns. Dak Prescott was an efficient 25-for-31 with 304 passing yards, 19 rushing yards, and four touchdowns. On the other side, the story of the day for the Rams (other than the big loss) was quarterback Matthew Stafford suffering an apparent right thumb injury. The veteran signal-caller departed in the third quarter and did not return.

The Buccaneers were outscored 25-3 through the first 47 minutes and didn’t score their first touchdown until midway through the fourth quarter. After a strong start to the season, Baker Mayfield quieted down, racking up just 146 passing yards, one touchdown, and one interception.
Miami Dolphins 70, Denver Broncos 20
The Dolphins stole the show in Week 3 with a 70-20 trouncing of the Broncos. Leading the way for Miami were its running backs, Raheem Mostert (142 scrimmage yards, four touchdowns) and Devon Achane (233 scrimmage yards, four touchd0wns). In total, the team scored 10 touchdowns and rushed for 350 yards. From a passing perspective, Tua Tagovailoa was an impressive 23-for-26 with 309 yards and four touchdowns despite not having Jaylen Waddle at his disposal.
