The Minnesota Vikings’ Week 1 victory over the Packers wasn’t just another win. It was a double Scorigami. Yeah, you read that right. That game hit Scorigami status in both Vikings franchise history and for the entire NFL, and the new resource tracking this stuff already has it logged. That’s a pretty wild way to kick off the season.

What The Heck Is a Scorigami Anyway?

For anyone scratching their head, Scorigami is a term coined by Jon Bois from SB Nation, and it is seriously cool. It is the art of building a final score that has never, ever been seen before in the entire history of the National Football League. Think about that for a second: a score combo that is literally unique. The last time the Vikings were involved in a league-wide Scorigami, it was a tough one. Their 52-33 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Christmas Day in 2020 was the first time in NFL history a game ended with that score. Not a great memory, but it definitely hit the Scorigami mark.

Unlocking Vikings History With This New Scorigami Tracker

Now, there is a whole new tool that lets fans dive deep into every single game in Minnesota Vikings history, all 1,056 of them. That is 567 victories, 478 losses, and 11 ties, including every playoff game. The chart is super slick: you can mouse over any square on the grid, and a pop-up shows you how many times that specific score happened and in what years. If a score combination has never occurred in franchise history, that square is blacked out. Playoff games even get their own special icon, so you know when the stakes were highest. It is a fantastic way to geek out over Vikings history and those super rare scores.

This page, which lives in its own Github repository, is designed to update itself. It will refresh after every Vikings game, though it might take a day or two to process. The plan is to get it pinned right onto the main page, so it is always just a click away for fans. That Week 1 win against the Packers already updated, showing that incredible double Scorigami feat. This thing is going to keep track of every single game going forward. If you love unique stats and diving into the history books, this is definitely something to keep an eye on.
