NEW ORLEANS -- With a play some Denver Broncos players called leaper, rookie safeties Justin Simmons and Will Parks combined for the two points that gave the Broncos a 25-23 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.After Saints quarterback Drew Brees threw a 32-yard touchdown pass to Brandin Cooks with 1 minute, 30 seconds to play to tie the game 23-23, New Orleans simply needed the extra point to get the win. As a result, special-teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis made a call and took a risk.Great call by Joe, said Broncos coach Gary Kubiak, adding that its something you work on all the time. Its risky to do, because if you touch somebody you know its a penalty. But there are situations in a game where ... its worth the risk, and that was one of them.Its all or nothing, Simmons said. They make the extra point, the game is pretty much over.At the snap, Simmons leaped over Saints long-snapper Justin Drescher to block the kick, and Parks fielded the bouncing football and started up the left sideline.Parks was not touched by a Saints defender. Broncos cornerbacks Kayvon Webster and Bradley Roby escorted Parks up the sideline as he covered 84 yards for the two points that made the difference.I saw the ball really high in the air, behind the line of scrimmage, so I knew I had to go, Parks said. ...That play, look at that orange pylon go, all I could think about was winning this game for this team.After being reviewed by the replay official to see if Parks stepped out of bounds, the play was upheld.They said upstairs, Coach, hes got a white shoe on; its really, really close. The fact that they called it one way, I think it will stand. So they felt that way, Kubiak said. ...Youre always worried (about a review).I took ballet in fourth or fifth grade, so Ive got toe game, Parks said.Dean Blandino, the NFLs senior vice president of officiating, broke down the play Sunday night on a video released by the league and agreed with all of the rulings on the field.Asked if Parks stepped out, Saints coach Sean Payton said he didnt get a great view of the play.Well, its hard to tell. I think those guys are doing their best to look at it. Hes got white shoes on, the sidelines white, so theres not a real good picture -- at least I didnt see one. So I understand.When told that a lot of fans think Parks stepped out of bounds, Brees said, It doesnt matter. Lets not even get to that point.But Brees did say he was still in a little disbelief after the game.Its tough to play a game like that, fight as hard as we all did, then have it come down to something like that, Brees said.The Saints tried an onside kick after the play, but it was recovered by the Broncos to secure the win.It made everything, Simmons said. ...It was nice today to kind of get our feet wet a little bit to get a game-changing play and help this team get a W.The Broncos block and return was the first such play to provide the winning points in an NFL game and the third return for two points since the NFL began allowing defensive scores on such plays in 2015.The Saints will likely turn the play in to the league in the coming days since some replays show Broncos defensive end Jared Crick, lined up to the defensive left of Drescher, push Dreschers head down after the snap; holding the long-snappers head down is a penalty.Drescher thought he was pulled down on the play.I will have to watch it on film, but it felt like their defensive tackles kind of pulled me forward and down, so I really couldnt pop us as fast, Drescher said. Thats what I felt in the time and the moment.Blandino said it didnt look as if Drescher had been pulled down to the ground.[Cricks] gonna get his hands up on top of the snapper and push him toward the ground. Thats legal, Blandino said. Open-hand push, legal. If there was a grab and a pull, that would be defensive holding. This is a similar concept as an offensive lineman blocking a defensive player. If he can get up on top of that defensive player and push him toward the ground, its legal, versus grabbing and pulling him.More power to them. They had a great scheme, Drescher said. Its frustrating because its a hard way to lose.ESPNs Saints reporter Mike Triplett contributed to this report.
