The 1950 Los Angeles Rams, the best offensive team in NFL history in terms of average points (466 in 12 games, 38.8 PPG), scored 70 points, one of only three teams to ever do so. The following week, they beat the Detroit Lions 65-24, including an NFL record 41 points in one quarter.
A 1 point safety is extremely rare, but it can happen. What is a 1 point safety in football? A 1 point safety is when the team trying to score a 2-point conversion or PAT turns the ball over, the defense takes the ball out of the end zone, then gets tackled in the end zone for a safety.
A conversion safety by the defense is also possible, though highly unlikely; although this has never occurred, it is the only possible way a team could finish with a single point in an American football game.
According to the NFL's scoring rules under Section 11-3-2-C, the rare one-point safety is awarded when a safety occurs by either team during a "try," or a point after try such as a two-point conversion or extra point attempt.

Has a NFL team ever went 17 0?
Since the National Football League began in 1920, only one team has played a perfect season (both regular season and playoffs): the 1972 Miami Dolphins, who won all fourteen of their regular season games and three postseason games, including Super Bowl VII, to finish the season 17–0–0.
The New England Patriots (USA) scored a 16-0 record in 2007, becoming the first team in NFL history to achieve an undefeated regular season since the league went to a 16-game schedule in 1978.

Tied games (2017–present)
In 2017, the NFL shortened overtime from 15 minutes to 10 minutes for preseason and regular season games with the intent of reducing the risk of injury. Through the 2022 season, a total of 88 regular season games went to overtime under these rules, 7 (7.9%) of which ended in a tie. No.

Yes it is. Team A scores a touchdown, but the extra point attempt kick is not only blocked, but blocked and then run to the opposite end zone for an offensive safety , which counts 1 point.
Among the non-viable outcomes are 1-1, 1-0, 2-1, 3-1, 4-1, 5-1, and 7-1. Five to 1 is impossible because it can only occur after a field goal and a conventional safety while 7 to 1 is also impossible because a team can only get to 7 after scoring a touchdown by successfully kicking a PAT.
What they and the Bulldogs did in the 3-2 final was put on one of the worst football games in the history of the sport. Not bad until you look at the three turnovers that the Tigers had.
1984 San Francisco 49ers

1945: Commissioner Elmer Layden, apparently with way too much time on his hands, decides that NFL players have unsightly legs and decrees that all players must wear long stockings. This rule, still on the books, is why NFL players wear high socks while so many NCAA teams still play bare-legged.

On the opposite side, 24 teams over the last 28 seasons have begun the season on 0-4 SU and ATS skids, though only one since 2014. The Jets and Texans add their names to that dubious list for 2020.
