Edit: the following statement is retracted. <blush>
Re-edit: it is possible, after all. Search for "one point safety" on the Internet for details. Not the way I originally had in mind, but it works.

I was just discussing this with my son. It's possible to get 1 in the US version of football as well. It's rare, but possible.

I'm at a loss... How's it possible?

Isn't a safety on a 2 point conversion 1? Feel like this was a trivia question somewhere. Could be way off though.

You are correct. And... It can go both ways.
quirkyresearch.blogspot.com has an article on it.

It also lists 5 occurrences of it happening. The most recent was this year's Fiesta Bowl:
"Up 31-10 in the 3rd quarter, Oregon's extra point was blocked and picked up by Kansas State on its own 2-yard-line. The Kansas State player then retreated into his own end zone where he was tackled."
