Can you think of any sport where a game ending in a 39 - 4 final score would be anything other than an absolute rarity?

I'm asking this because I officiated an American Football game yesterday that ended in that score. 39 - 4 has never happened in the NFL, and to my knowledge it has happened only once in College Football: https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/boxscores/1889-11-02-cornell.html

Soccer, Baseball and Ice Hockey are sports where I wouldn't expect one team to score 39. Basketball is a sport where I wouldn't expect one team to score only 4. Sports like Tennis and Volleyball that are played in sets usually don't go to 39, and when they do it's between evenly matched competitors.

Nothing I can think of. A football game with a team scoring 2 is rare, 4 has to be significantly more. It's not possible in a professional hockey game, an NHL team never really got close to even 20, I think the record is 16.

It would have to be an astronomically bad game of basketball or bowling

It could definitely happen in youth basketball, where the game doesn't last as long. I've seen girls' high school games that with final scores of like 50-8.

They could have also returned a two point conversion for a td which counts as 2

Wrestling maybe?

How did the team score 39? Did they continue going for 2 each TD or something?

are you talking about the score specifically? or the point differential? because there have been bigger point differentials in the nfl.

Can't happen in Rugby .
Could happen in baseball but most likely won't.
Can happen in the college basketball. I had WNBA that had some 4 points halfs but no game.
