yeah, thats why I picked the Rams but I mean, Atlanta winning is far less surprising than the Titans beating the Chiefs.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Does It Happen: A scoring play that is not a touchdown, a traditional one-point conversion after a touchdown, or a field goal occurs. (1 point) *

So you are asking does a Safety or some other play that results in 2 points occurs. (Includes 2 point conversion)

Can we bet on the coin toss like if its heads or tails? Or what color Gatorade is poured on the winning teams coach?

People do bet on these 2 things in Vegas. They also bet on how long it will take for the Anthem to be sung. Gambling be crazy

Anything other than a Touchdown, a kicked PAT, or a field goal. Most of these are two points (safety, two-point conversion, PAT or two-point conversion returned to the endzone by the other team) but there’s also that bizarro one-point safety thing that’s never happened. Who knows what we’ll see?

Last year I made anthem length one of the questions here, but for some reason I got the impression that it didn’t go over too well.

I got several submission failed notices on the form, so I kept trying to do it and came back later to try again. I hope it didn't actually submit multiple times, and I don't remember exactly what I picked each time, but as long as I have a set in, I'm happy :P

It happens if there’s a safety on a two-point conversion or a blocked PAT. It’s happened twice in college football but never in the NFL. It could theoretically happen to the team that didn’t score a TD if a TD is blocked, the other team returns it, they get near their endzone, they turn the ball over, and then the team that initially kicked/passed has the ballcarrier tackled in the end zone (and thus could lead to a team having exactly one point on the board). But this doesn’t really happen.

That's a pretty ridiculous thing

The statement:
Does a Safety
or some play that results in 2 points occur?

Would be a valid way to shorten that question
