By now, most NFL fans are familiar with the term “Scorigami,” even if they’re not exactly sure what the term means.

For the uninitiated, Scorigami is simple. It a concept created by former SB Nation writer Jon Bois in which fans track final scores that have never happened before in NFL history.

“Due to the unique nature of how points are scored in (American) Football, where it is impossible to score 1 point on its own, as well as the rarity of the 2-point safety and 8-point touchdown and 2-point conversion, there are a lot of scores that are possible, but have never happened,” the Scorigami website states.

NFL Scorigami Bot Fails, Leaving Fans Confused And Devastated

The concept of Scorigami became so popular that one man, X user Dave Mattingly, created a social media bot that would track scores of NFL games and report not only whether the game ended with a unique score, but also the chances of games ending with a unique score while they are still being played.

The account has over 500,000 followers on X, to further explain how popular it has become.

Sadly, in recent weeks, something appears to have happened to throw off the bot’s algorithm. Not only has it begun reporting incorrect scores, but it’s also reporting incorrect Scorigami information.

For example, following the Chicago Bears’ 25-24 victory over the Washington Commanders on Monday night, the bot reported that the final score did not qualify for Scorigami. However, it also stated that the score had happened zero times before in NFL history.

However, as a community note stated, there had been 20 previous instances of that final score in the NFL. A similar incident occurred following Sunday’s game between the Buccaneers and 49ers.

It’s safe to say that NFL fans are not taking the demise of the Scorigami bot well.

Sadly, Scorigami bot was too good for this world. It may have been the last thing in this country that everyone unanimously agreed upon. If we can’t even have that, what can we have?
