Still 405 (although some scores are less reasonable than others). The page I linked to had already removed 41-39. --BobJeemie wrote:Stats like these make me laugh.
I'm sure there are still plenty of reasonable possible scores that haven't been hit yet.
And clicking on that source proved me right. At least 405 possible scores (404 now).

It is actually possible to score one point in American football on what's referred to as a conversion safety. If the defense blocks a conversion kick or recovers a turnover and then fumbles the ball back in the end zone or retreats back into the end zone after entering the field of play, the offense scores one point. It's happened a couple of times this century in college football (where the defense has long been able to score two points for returning a block or turnover on a conversion attempt for a score), and it's theoretically possible in the NFL.littlebeast13 wrote:

A one-point rouge happens more frequently in Canadian football if a ball is kicked into the end zone and not returned onto the field of play, the kicking team (kickoff or punt) gets one point and the receiving team still gets the ball.
But the offense does not lose the 6 points they earned giving them the opportunity for a 1 point conversion. So they will end up with 7, at least, not 1, as a final score.silverscreenselect wrote:It is actually possible to score one point in American football on what's referred to as a conversion safety.

Actually there is, because the conversion safety point rule applies to either team. So, if the defense runs back a blocked conversion kick almost all the way, then fumbles into the end zone and the offensive team tries to run it out and fumbles it back and out of the end zone, then the defense would be awarded the one point for the conversion safety. If that was their only score in the game, they would then have one point.BackInTex wrote:But the offense does not lose the 6 points they earned giving them the opportunity for a 1 point conversion.

I don't think there is a way for a team to have a final score of 1 in the NFL.
Ah, I see now. I'd rather bet on Powerball, better odds.silverscreenselect wrote:Actually there is, because the conversion safety point rule applies to either team.

Private McAuslin (The Dirtiest Soldier in the British Army) came up with an answer to a similar question (about soccer, I think)in GMF's short story-"General Knowledge, Private Information" about a quiz contest in the British Army after WW2-This was probably the only quiz contest where the military police were called in before the contest.silverscreenselect wrote:Actually there is, because the conversion safety point rule applies to either team.
