Denver Broncos turn blocked PAT into two-point win against Saints

Kirk Cousins threw for 262 yards and two touchdowns, but all of their second-half points came from kicker Dustin Hopkins, who had four field goals.

“Obviously, everyone in our secondary is at the elite stage and they’ve all made Pro Bowls, they’ve nearly done everything you can do in this league”, Simmons said.

Figure more teams are going to work on the play.

“It took me a few tries to actually time it up and make sure I could clear the centre” in practice, Simmons said. They had six sacks after getting 11 combined in the first eight games. “I’m about to go meet with the team doctor right now and see what he says”.

“It’s a tough way to lose at the end like that”, Saints coach Sean Payton said. I was looking like I took ballet in fifth grade.

After the Saints scored a touchdown to even up the score with just over a minute remaining, the Broncos blocked the Saints’ extra-point attempt.

With just 1:22 left, it looked like the Saints were going to pull off a stunning comeback when Drew Brees hit Brandin Cooks with a 32-yard laser for a touchdown that tied that game up at 23. Rookie safety Justin Simmons-he of a 40-inch vertical-jumped over the line and blocked the kick. “I was just moving”. “But learning a ton and I don’t think we’re a finished product yet, so that’s exciting”.

However, if you look closely, it appears Parks went out of bounds on the return.

The call was so close that the NFL’s VP of officiating, Dean Blandino chose to go on Twitter and explain the ruling. It’s interesting that it’s not an illegal play.

Crick’s was, too. Lined up over the right guard, he twists at the snap and pushes the snapper toward the ground.

According to Blandino, it was all legal.

BETTER BLOCKING: Two of Denver’s best pass rushers – Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware – were held without a sack by a Saints offensive line that was missing starting left tackle Terron Armstead.

Nope, after further review, the runner did not step on the sideline, Denver wins. WDSU posted a video that was aimed straight down the line from the end zone – an angle the National Football League did not have available.

Simmons said Denver calls the play, “Leaper”, and was “something we worked on all week”. Replay is designed.to fix obvious mistakes.

Also Sunday, two big-time quarterbacks called out their respective teams following demoralizing losses that continued monthlong slumps by two of the early-season Super Bowl favorites. “You do that and you don’t give yourself an opportunity to win”. Pressed for specifics, he said, “Just a feel”.

Marcus Mariota and the Tennessee Titans [5-5] put the listless Green Bay Packers [4-5] to the sword with a 47-25 win in Nashville.

As forced a fumble as you’ll ever see. We’ve got seven wins here as a team, and it’s been a battle, and we’ll get some of these guys back. Stewart intercepted Brees twice – joining the now injured Aqib Talib as the only Broncos with multiple interceptions in one game.
