Well first of all, you never said possible, you said least likely, so you're wrong there.

Second of all, it is possible to score a 1 point safety in the NFL, so you're wrong again.

Either way, fail.

there is no one point safety in the NFL

Except that there is.

The NFL also has a one-point "conversion safety" rule, but such a safety can only be scored by the offense. According to former NFL referee Jerry Markbreit:

Under NFL rules, an unsuccessful extra-point is dead if kicked, but while attempting a two-point try, it is possible for a safety to be ruled if the defensive team forces the ball back into their own end zone and they recover. One point would be awarded [to the offense], instead of the two points that are normally awarded for safeties. Although the offense would still kick off, since they just scored a touchdown

Nicky, give me the 10 points. You heard my plight on saturday with that half pt loss on utah. You were in my thoughts on a saturday night, this is the least you can do in return.

ok you are right but still no possibility for the defense to score, thus you can't finish an NFL game with 1 point.

In college it is possible for the defense to get an interception, then get the ball stripped, then cause another fumble into the endzone and finish the game with 1 point.

Yeah this is what I found too, BUT you would need to have an initial TD to have the 1pt safety be valid in the first place.

So ,i would think 1-1 is impossible

you actually got lucky.. the whole world lost on UTAH +5.5 and you pushed at +6 and all because Dirk missed the 2nd free throw and this guy never ever misses.. so you got lucky..

Fair enough, but the fact that 1-1 is impossible certainly makes it least likely, so it's still the correct answer.

**Nicky Santoro** · 12-12-10, 09:12 PM

Hey Dr Stale, stick to the medical field and stop questioning me cause it seems you don't know football too well.. no score can end 1-1, so i guess you were the fail here, not me.. stick to being a doctor and stop gambling.. Now get back to your patients. they are waiting for you.

No dummy, you were still wrong. You asked what the least likely score would be. The correct answers are 1-0 or 1-1. You did not say possible scores. And it's a much bigger fail since you quizzed the board without even knowing the answer.

**Nicky Santoro** · 12-12-10, 11:04 PM

hey dr, one thing we can rule out is that you are a harvard graduate. in fact, that is one sure lock.. i've always said that there is no such thing as a lock. could i have been wrong all these years. yes, i was wrong.. you're not that bright dr..

dr, so is it ok to say that the most unlikely final score in NHL is -1000 to -843.. hey, that should count too according to you because just like 1-1 in NFL, it's IMPOSSIBLE..

you're a nut, dr... you're fukkin nuts..

you need to get a clue. i hear you can buy one at Sears for 12.99$ + tax.. i'll pay for you if you don't have the money

I think -1 to -69.8 is also correct. 1/2 to 3/4 is also correct.

**JDUB07** · 12-13-10, 05:21 PM

Yup 4-4 is the answer for sure. I could only see this happening in a very nasty weather game with abunch of good pinned back punts.

**WhatAboutMeBitch** · 12-13-10, 05:28 PM

I bet in the history of the NFL there has been a 4-4 game. I think that a 25-25 game tie would actually be less prevalent in the history of the NFL. or even a 25-4 game.

its very rare for an nfl team to score exactly 25 points in a game

Just a few off the top of my head.

2 TD's..1 TD with 2 pt conversion, and a FG
2 TD's, 1 of the td's missed xtra pt.. and 4 FG's
6 FG's and 1 TD

there are tons more..

Can someone do some research here and find out when was the last time a team ended up with exactly 4 pts.. doesn't have to be 4-4.. could be 21-4, 28-4, etc.. i wonder if it has ever happened..

i'd love to know this..

Has an NFL team ever scored only 4 points in one game?

On November 25, 1923 the Racine Legion defeated the Chicago Cardinals 10-4.

**Masu485** · 12-13-10, 05:47 PM

This is the ONLY game in NFL history that finished with either the winning or the losing team scoring a total of 4 points

**Masu485** · 12-13-10, 05:51 PM

omg NICKY...

Although exceedingly unlikely, college football's rules also allow the defensive team to score a one-point conversion safety on a PAT or conversion try. One possible scenario: Team B blocks Team A's extra-point attempt, and a player on Team B picks up the loose ball and runs towards the opposite end zone. Before reaching the goal line, he fumbles the ball and it is recovered by a player from Team A, who then voluntarily runs into his own (Team A's) end zone and is tackled. Team B would score one point for the conversion safety and the score would then be 6–1. No team has ever scored a defensive conversion safety in a college football game. However, the rule is notable as being one of just two ways a team may finish a game with a score of exactly one point in American football. The second way is a forfeit in American college or high school football. For example, when Team A forfeits, the final score is 1–0 for Team B
