Many NFL fans are by now aware of the fad known as "Scorigami" -- a statistical project that tracks unique final scores across the league.
On Sunday, 32-26 was added to the list courtesy of the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets.

NYJ 26 - 32 MIA
Final
That's Scorigami!! It's the 1089th unique final score in NFL history.
For those unfamiliar with Scorigami, that simply means that Sunday's game was the first time in NFL history that a game has ended with a final score of 32-26.
The Dolphins won on a walk-off Jonnu Smith touchdown in overtime, not requiring an extra point. Due to that, in addition to an earlier missed extra point and a fourth quarter touchdown that was followed by a two-point conversion, the Dolphins ended the game with a tally that is rarely seen. The Jets, who kicked four field goals, also finished with an unconventional number.
The idea of Scorigami first originated in a 2016 YouTube video by Jon Bois of SBNation. It gained an underground following in the ensuing years as fans would point out anytime a game completed with a never-before-seen final score, and has now become relatively mainstream as it has been mentioned on broadcasts on multiple occasions.
Sunday's game is the fifth Scorigami of the 2024 NFL season. The previous most recent one came in Week 11, when the Detroit Lions beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 52-6.
The Dolphins are 6-7 on the season, still facing an uphill climb if they're going to make the playoffs. But at least they can take solace in knowing they made every stats nerd's day on Sunday.
