The 2023 YouTube video runs through a list of football facts that feel wrong at first glance but stand up to proof. The host rattles them off with a wink and invites viewers to test each one. He calls it a set of facts that sound fake but are actually true. The segment touches everything from draft quirks to record book oddities and the silence around some long waits. Two seasons later, it is a great checklist to revisit. So we watched again, pulled the stats, and verified what has changed since 2023.
Two years later, a rare 2 points finally showed up
One claim said the last time a team scored exactly 2 points was in 2013. That stood until Christmas night in 2024 when Baltimore beat Houston 31 to 2. A safety by Houston provided those 2 points and reset a strange drought that had stretched 11 years. Game stories the next day called it an NFL rarity and broke down just how unusual a 2 point final total is in the modern era.
While we were there, we checked the rest of the list. The Browns ending the once perfect record for teams that scored 40 or more with zero turnovers still holds as a defining outlier from October 2021 against the Chargers. Multiple outlets logged it at the time and the framing remains useful today when fans talk about how hard it is to lose with that profile.
“Facts that sound fake but are actually true.” — Touchdown Rewind, the video’s creator
The draft quirk about two players named Josh Allen both going seventh overall in back to back years is unchanged. Buffalo picked quarterback Josh Allen at number 7 in 2018, and Jacksonville picked edge rusher Josh Allen at number 7 in 2019. It is still a perfect pub trivia item that reads like a typo until you look it up.

The Kamara watch and other nuggets that still turn heads
Another entry said Alvin Kamara had never rushed for 1,000 yards in a season, with a high of 932 in 2020. That remains accurate through 2024 and into the current season, which is wild given his total value and the fact he passed Mark Ingram to become the Saints all time rushing leader last November. Year after year he stacks yards from scrimmage, catches, and touchdowns while the single season rushing mark stays just out of reach.
The list also celebrated oddities that make long time fans smile. Sam Gash reached the Pro Bowl in 1999 without a single carry that regular season, which speaks to the art of lead blocking in an era that valued the role. And yes, that quirky 2014 game really did feature all points by players whose names ended in kowski. Janikowski. Gronkowski. Gostkowski. It reads like fiction until you pull the box score.
Zooming back out, the best part of these lists is how the sport keeps them alive. A Christmas safety revives a dormant note. A ball control shootout in 2021 still explains why win probability can mislead. A star back proves again that production takes many forms. That is why fans keep sharing the video. It is a living scoreboard for football’s weirdest corners.
