In the inaugural season of the NFL, 68.9% of the games were shutouts (which is
definitely not good for Scorigami's)! In the second season, we were given the only
game in history containing exactly four points scored for one team.
In 1940, we were given arguably the most impressive Scorigami of all-time in
the league championship. Chicago beat Washington's professional team with a score
of 73-0. No scorigami has ever come close to being such a high scoring shutout
through the remaining years of the league.
The reason that Scorigami is important in the game of football is because its scoring
units are extremely awkward. In almost all other sports, points are tallied by one.
In football, points can be scored in increments of 2, 3, 6, 7, or 8, which is why
each individual game poses the opportunity to have a unique outcome. In the 1960's,
the AFL was merged with the NFL, adding teams to the league to create a total of 32.
Due to this league merger, Scorigami went off the charts. With more teams, there's more
games, there's more points being scored, and more Scorigami's being made. However, up until
1994, the two-point conversion was not a part of the NFL and caused annual rates of Scorigami
to dramatically increase. Due to the league reintroducing the conversion, they saved the art
of Scorigami forever.
