Three points. The second team throws an interception, with the ball picked off at the one yard line. The guy who picks off the ball runs into the end zone and takes a knee, instead of just taking a knee at the spot of the pick. That's a safety for the second team. Two points. So the margin ends up being one point. Does that work?
That would work, but there are other ways too. If the first team gets a TD (and either scores the 2-point or doesn't) then the second team could score a TD, then do what you just highlighted, which would be a 1-point play (IIRC). So I guess it's not impossible, just wildly unlikely.
