Scorigami

An NFL scorigami board, as of the end of the 2023–24 NFL playoffs. The winning side's score is plotted left to right, the losing team's score top to bottom (ties correspond to the diagonal). Black squares indicate scores that cannot occur, and green boxes indicate scores that have occurred at least once. White squares indicate scorelines that are possible but have never occurred and are therefore potential "scorigamis".

In sports, a scorigami (a portmanteau of score and origami) is a scoring combination that has never happened before in a sport or league's history.[1] The term was originated by sportswriter Jon Bois for American football scores in the National Football League (NFL) and is primarily used in this context.
