The Denver Broncos swung their game against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday in one of the most improbable ways possible.
Drew Brees threw a 32-yard touchdown pass to Brandin Cooks with 1:22 left to tie the game at 23. The Saints were all set to take the lead on an extra point, but Denver had other ideas.
Justin Simmons hurdled the center and blocked the kick attempt, and the ball was picked up by Will Parks. Parks raced down the sideline to return the blocked kick for a two-point conversion to give Denver a 25-23 lead.

The play was under review to see whether Parks stepped out of bounds while running down the sideline, but the evidence appeared to be inconclusive. Accordingly, the refs let the call on the field stand. Denver won 25-23.
