The Houston Texans defied the odds, literally.
No, I'm not talking about everyone, every national NFL analyst picking the Texans to lose to the Los Angeles Chargers, and even some saying it was a bye week for the Chargers. I'm not talking about the media members around the league who picked the Chargers because they have "the best defense in the league," or a really good run game, and the Texans haven't had anything on offense the last few weeks.
So, yeah, no one believed in them, which is why they have the right to let everyone know after such a dominating win. You saw guys like Joe Mixon get on Instagram Live with cigars after the game.
But, like I said, I'm not talking about those odds.
There's this thing in the NFL called origami, and it's pretty cool, actually. A scorigami refers to the final score of a game that has never occurred before in the league's history. And on Saturday, that happened in the Chargers' game, thanks to the Chargers making two field goals and the Texans blocking a field goal and returning it for two points.
LAC 12 - 32 HOU

Final
That's Scorigami!! It's the 1091st unique final score in NFL history.
This scorigami was the 1091st scorigami of all time. The final score of 12-32 had, surprisingly, never been achieved before.
