There's a way to score 1 point in college but I forget what it is - does that apply to the NFL too?

Safeties are by far the rarest scoring play, so anything that requires that both teams had at least one would be quite strange. 4-4 would require that both teams had exactly two, and I think would probably be the strangest possible, as a large number of field goals still isn't as rare as a single safety.

11-11 would probably be my second choice. (Several ways for this to happen, but all of them require something at least moderately strange.)

welcome to the 20th century. Theyve had 2 point conversions in the NFL for a decade now.

Those of you having problems with this, think Unarmed, Mosdef, and Apathy.

Except in that case, assuming I'm getting the right hint here, wouldn't 1-0 be a very normal score?

Not for most of us.

5-4.

No, there's no way to get 1 point. I'd have to vote for 4-4. Also, there are 2 pt. conversions in the nfl.

In college, if the team blocks the extra point and runs it back for a touchdown the defense gets a point, so the score would be 6-2, but i think they changed it. It was that way and may well still be.
