The stories below represent the subset of my football articles that are related to weird NFL scores, a phenomenon that gained attention in 2015 when the NFL moved the extra point back by 13 yards, causing a 9x increase in the frequency of missed attempts. (Though for reasons described in "Why 2015's NFL Scores Are the Weirdest in History," missed extra points are not the only reason for historically weird scores.)
This phenomenon has largely continued over the last four NFL seasons. Beyond analyzing the changing the face of NFL scores (those familiar multiples of seven and three that we learn in pickup games), I've also explored how "weird scores" have impacted Super Bowl Squares probabilities, and whether "weird scores" have in any way affected common NFL margins of victory, which could have betting implications.
