New [Scorigami](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorigami) today. > The most recent Scorigami for an NFL game occurred on October 24, 2021, when the [Arizona Cardinals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_Cardinals) defeated the [Houston Texans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houston_Texans) by a score of 31–5. ---

Nope; a “Scorigami” is a score which has never previously occurred in an NFL game; the link that @Telemark shared indicates that there had never previously been a 31-5 game. A 38-3 score has happened 18 previous times ([source](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game-scores.htm)). ---

Looks like it wasn’t an interception after all, but a fumble recovered by the defense! ---

Unfortunately your link just goes to the main NFL video page and doesn’t show the video. ☹ (NFL’s web site sucks.) ---

Here’s the [Carson Wentz shovel int](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKwZoMv3NWg). Bad for sure - but not as downright dreadful as Mahomes’ of last week. ---

Think they’ve disappeared the video, now that it’s no longer an interception. ---

Whoever ruled that a fumble seems to be blind. He certainly shoveled that one handed. ---

Okay I believe I found the video: [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYHbHvipeZw) And yeah that was awful. Fun fact, I was Googling “Carson Wentz shovel pass interception” and when I got to “sho” it wanted to autocomplete to “Carson Wentz should retire”. That’s not even a joke. ---

> [@Mighty\_Mouse](#): > > That seems to be from a month ago. You are right. I searched on “Carson Wentz shovel pass int” and that’s what came up. I didn’t think there’d be more than one. And now that I’ve seen today’s version, I agree it’s solidly within the “astoundingly bad” category. ---

Yeah it’s not even debatable. He very, very clearly threw it. The only reason to rule it a fumble is if you have some reason to protect his stats. He flung his right hand forward and the ball flew out of it. He might have lost his hold as he was throwing but if the ball is propelled by his arm going forward it’s by definition a pass. Or maybe someone who hasn’t watched football before and doesn’t know what a shovel pass is thought that doesn’t count as a pass and ruled it a fumble by default. That’s the only other explanation I can come up with.
