NFL Scorigami, explained for Super Bowl LIX between Chiefs and Eagles

An NFL score has never happened before is on the table in the Super Bowl.

There have been 1091 unique scores in NFL history, with the most recent unique score happening in this year’s playoffs. These unique scores are also called a “Scorigami” and they are tracked by folks with spreadsheets around NFL Media with seven coming in 2024.

Usually Scorigamis happen when weird stuff takes place in an NFL game like teams going for two or missed extra points. In this year’s Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs went for two after their first touchdown in the game at the end of the third quarter.

With the Philadelphia Eagles running up the score, pushing out to a 34-point lead at the time, it was the right move. The more points Philly scores, the more likely we are to get to Scorigami, as well.

Heading into the game, FanDuel Sportsbook had betting odds at +2500 that it would happen in the Super Bowl.
