- Minnesota Vikings rallied from a 22-17 fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Green Bay Packers 39-22, outscoring Green Bay 22-0 in the final period behind an Aaron Jones touchdown and a Carson Wentz two-point conversion pass to Justin Jefferson.
- The 39-22 final marked the 1097th unique score in NFL history — the first time that exact score has ever occurred in a regular-season or postseason game, per Scorigami tracking.
- Earlier the same day, the Chicago Bears beat the Carolina Panthers 59-37, also a scorigami — the first time two unprecedented final scores occurred on the same day since September 29, 2019.
- Packers kicker Trey Smack missed an extra point in the first half; had it gone through, the final would have been 39-23, a score that has already occurred and would not have been a scorigami.
- After Aaron Jones gave Minnesota a 23-22 lead, the Vikings went for two and Carson Wentz hit Justin Jefferson for the 25-22 advantage, part of three fourth-quarter touchdowns that pushed the score to 39.
- Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season has already produced two scorigamis — half of the four total that occurred during the entire 2025 season and the third straight season with a Week 1 scorigami.
Why it matters: It's the third straight NFL season with a Week 1 scorigami, and the first time two unprecedented final scores occurred on the same day in seven years. Packers kicker Trey Smack's missed extra point was the literal hinge — without that miss, 39-22 never registers as a first-time final, since 39-23 is already in the record books.
