The NFL began sharing a new statistic this year that I had never even thought about and it is blowing my mind. They've announced several times when final game scores are unique within the existence of the NFL. Example, when the Colts beat the the Bills 41 - 15 this year, this was the first time this final score had ever been recorded in the NFL. They call it a Scorigami. With the addition of the 2 point conversion and moving the extra point back 15 yards, I can see how this is opening up the range of scores because we now get less common combinations than we used to. Scores were once almost totally limited to combinations of 3, 6 or 7, with a very rare 2 pointer for a safety. But now we often get the 2 point conversion and more often get 6 points due to missed extra points. Still, I'm amazed that some of these combinations have never been recorded.
Why is it so?
