Odd historical note on score

[Cydios]

First time in history a game ends with a score of 43 to 20.

I saw that on the RZ channel that’s actually pretty wild.

I am actually pretty surprised by that. Seems like it should have happened before.

The stats nerds are getting faster at research all the time.

As true as that is it likely made a lot of non-Cowboys fans happy as well. It is a popular thing for football fans who root for all teams to celebrate when an NFL Scorigami - when the score in a game is one that has never happened before - is reached which just so happened to be the case on Sunday. 43-20 had never been done!

At the end of the day wins in the NFL count the same whether they are 3-0 or 100-0, but it is always neat when something like this happens. It is amazing to think that in a league that is over 100 years old that of all the games played that no two teams had ever walked down a path of 43-20 as a score before.

Wow, yeah that is actually pretty amazing it is the first time.

Most scorigamis these days involve big scores, and 43 is a pretty unusual one.

For those interested, scorigami originated with this really wonderful piece by Jon Bois. who is a national treasure that every sports fan should know.

I'm just biding my time until the first score that involves a 1 point safety like 20-1. These are now technically do-able so eventually we will see a 1 point final score for a team.

 

[Praxit]

.. I think the safety we got, made that difference.

Nice to see some Jon Bois love on here. Dude is the best in the business at making the most mundane sports stories become emotional roller coasters

103 regular seasons (1920 through 2022); would think it had to have happened before Sunday.
Anyone know how tens of thousands of games?

Yep, safeties cause unusual score totals because they are so rare.

The 2-point conversion created a jump in scorigamis as well.
