Yep, they announced a new unique final score in Week 1 this year, when the Ravens beat the Dolphins 59-10.
Ah, thanks. I tried looking around for the most recent one, but couldn’t find it before just before giving up.
I knew it only because I follow Scorigami on Twitter…
I can’t find it but IIRC a few years back the Pittsburgh Steelers won a Monday nite home game 3-0 on a field torn up by several high school football games over the weekend.
The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Chicago Cardinals 7-0 at home for the NFL Championship in a blizzard.
The Eagles defeat of the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 52 is the only 41-33 score in NFL history.

This isn’t completely on point, but I think you’ll find it interesting nonetheless. In the Canadian Football League, it is possible to score a single point, known as a rouge. So, you might ask, has a CFL game ever ended 1-0? Indeed, it has! Back in the 1960s, Montreal managed to pick up one solitary rouge in the fourth quarter on the way to a truly crushing victory over Ottawa. And the archived story in the Montreal paper says it also happened in 1949.
Yup, they beat the Dolphins at home, at Heinz, on a late FG.
In addition, if an NFL team forfeits a game (which IIRC has never happened,) that game is scored in the record books as a 1-0 victory for the team that does show up.
Two first-ever scores today. Browns 40-25 over the Ravens & Buccaneers 55-40 over the Rams.
When was the last time there were two in one weekend?
There was the PA high school championship game played on the field, followed by a Pitt game. It also rained like crazy that whole weekend in Pittsburgh and the grounds crew decided to just put new sod on top of the old sod, so the field was the worst I have ever seen watching football. As the game got near the end of regulation, I was rooting for overtime and the chance of a 0-0 tie.
Chicago Cardinals? That goes back a long long way. The only NFL season game I ever saw (I saw one preseason game once) was the Chicago Cardinals beating the Eagles at Shibe Park. Probably around 1949 or so. One season around then, the Eagles beat the Redskins 45-0 twice in the same season.
What a great site. I can definitely waste some time here.
Not true. My very first NFL game in 1972 between the Eagles and the St. Louis Cardinals ended in a 6-6 tie. Four field goals, no touchdowns, no overtime. It’s a wonder I ever went back for second game. (Early 70s were a tough time for all Philly sports teams that weren’t wearing ice skates.)
My new favorite website says that a total of 16 games ended like this, but only three came after the merger.
However, the 6-6 tie between the Seahawks and Cardinals in 2016, to which Atamasama was referring, was, however, the only time a game has ended with that score since the NFL instituted overtime for regular-season games (which greatly reduced the number of ties).
I’ll admit I was unaware of that qualifier so I’ll offer a mea culpa. It makes sense that prior to overtime rules it was more common to have weird tying scores. I just know that announcers were saying the result in that Seattle/Arizona game had never happened before.
There was an infamous game in the early ‘80s when the Patriots beat the Dolphins late in the season up in New England. There was snow on the field and the Patriots’ head coach at the time got a stadium employee (whom, IIRC, was on work release) to clear the snow on the very spot where N.E was going to try a field goal. The field goal was good and I believe it was the only score of the game but the way in which it all went down made national news.
That would be this game.
