did you know that its possible to...?


did u know its possible to have any score in football except for 1? i figured that out a couple years ago but its funny how people will argue about it with me.

they say "WHAT ABOUT 4?

i say 2 safeties

they say WHAT ABOUT 5?

i say one safety one field goal

they say WHAT ABOUT 17? its a prime number

I say 2 touchdowns w/ extra point each and a field goal

That dude got way too much time on his hands. But thanks for pointing that out, Captain Obvious.

duh.

Does it make you smart to point out something everyone knows?

reply



It's an obscure rule and it has never happened in the NFL but there is such a thing as a one point safety.

So, in theory, it is possible to score only one point in a game.

See the official NFL rules if you don't believe me.

Wake the dead to post interesting trivia.

It was worth it.

Post more.

I have just realized that the 1 point safety I referred to has only been in the NFL rules since 2015. Prior to that it was not possible.

The original post was submitted 18 years ago which was obviously before the rule change. So the OP was correct at that time.
