The Chargers whooped the Bills on Sunday, winning 54-24. And the Patriots took it to the Raiders with a 33-8 win in Mexico City.
Patriots vs. Raiders and Bills vs. Chargers ended in scores that have never happened before
Week 11 gave us two scorigamis.

Jeanna Kelley has been covering the Falcons for The Falcoholic since 2011 and the NFL for SB Nation since 2015.
Aside from being lopsided, these scores have something else in common. No game in NFL history had ever ended with a 54-24 or 33-8 score before. They’re both scorigamis.
Our own Jon Bois coined the term ‘scorigami.’ It’s a perfect description of the art of finishing a game with a unique score the league has never seen before.
Tom Brady picked apart the Raiders defense, going 30-of-37 for 339 yards, three touchdowns, and no picks. Stephen Gostkowski nailed four field goals, including a career-long 62-yarder. Oakland never really stood a chance, but Derek Carr finally hit Amari Cooper with a 9-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter and they got the two-point conversion.
The Bills benched quarterback Tyrod Taylor this week in favor of Nathan Peterman, and it was a bad idea. The Chargers took advantage by picking off Peterman five times. Melvin Ingram returned a fumble for a touchdown, and Korey Toomer returned a pick 59 yards for a score. Buffalo took Peterman out and replaced him with Taylor, but his two touchdowns were too little, too late.
These two scorigamis bring us to a total of seven on the season. These are the other five:
Last year we just had five scorigamis all season, and we still may see more in 2017.
