The wait is finally over, and the inaugural week of the 2024 NFL Season has come to a close. Monday Night’s showdown between the 49ers and Jets may have lacked intensity, but it still managed to deliver a thrilling conclusion. San Francisco emerged victorious, defeating New York 32-19 in a game that never seemed in doubt. As the clock wound down, Jake Moody’s impressive sixth field goal sealed the deal, prompting the Jets to substitute Aaron Rodgers with backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor. In a last-ditch effort, the Jets scored a touchdown, but their subsequent two-point conversion attempt fell short, leaving the final score at 32-19.
This unexpected outcome marked the first instance of a rare phenomenon known as Scorigami, a concept pioneered by visionary Jon Bois. Scorigami refers to the creation of unique final scores that have never occurred before in NFL history. The peculiarities of American Football’s scoring system, where single points cannot be scored independently, and the infrequency of two-point safeties and eight-point touchdowns with two-point conversions, make Scorigami a fascinating and elusive achievement. For those who persevered through the lopsided matchup, this extraordinary conclusion was a sweet reward, setting the tone for an electrifying football season ahead.
