What is the only way an NFL game can have a 1-0 score? I may or may not be fully correct about this, but I believe that up until a few years ago, a forfeited game was ti be recorded as a 1-0 victory in the books for the team that showed up to play. I think it is now recorded as 2-0 instead of 1-0, for some reason. Whatever it may be, no NFL game has ever forfeited with one team refusing or not coming to play. ---

The [Conversion Safety Scored by the Defense](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_(gridiron_football_score)#Scored_by_the_defense) allows college and NFL football teams to score 1 point. It is the result of an extra point attempt turned into a safety by the defense. It cannot result in a 1-0 score though because it must follow a touchdown for one team. It also has never happened yet. ---
