What is Scorigami, and how many will we see in the 2026 NFL season?

Scorigami, a term coined to describe unique final scores in NFL games, have become increasingly common as scoring in the league has risen. As of the conclusion of the 2025 season, there have been 1095 unique final scores in NFL history. While many high-scoring games have occurred, there are still some scores that have never been seen, such as a 2-2 tie.

Since 1992, there have been at least three Scorigami in every NFL season. The average number of Scorigamis per season since the start of the 2000 season is seven, with the highest being 14 in 2013 and the lowest being three in 2022 and 2009. Some potential Scorigami numbers to watch for in the 2026 season include familiar scores like 8-7, 9-9, and 18-8, as well as more extreme scores like 41-41 and 42-25.

In the 2025 season, there were four games that resulted in new Scorigami. The Buffalo Bills won against the Baltimore Ravens 41-40, with the Bills going for two in the third quarter and missing on consecutive attempts. The Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers tied at 40-40, as the Packers had limited possessions due to recent rule changes.

The Houston Texans defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 36-29, with the Texans returning a fumble for a touchdown to seal the win. Lastly, the Buffalo Bills beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 44-32, with both teams scoring multiple touchdowns and the Buccaneers attempting and failing a two-point conversion.
