No. 4: Denver Blocks Extra Point for Touchdown and Win
In a crazy finish to a close game, the Broncos Special Teams cracks a spot in the top 5. With the Saints scoring a late touchdown and ready to take the lead on an extra point, the Broncos had a change of plans.
The extra point in a tied game was blocked. In past years, this would’ve been the end of the play, but recent rule changes allow defenses the opportunity to score two points on the play. Will Parks would scoop the ball and take it the length of the field to complete their 2-point conversion.
This play went from the Saints taking the win, to the Broncos stealing it from under their nose. It was exciting, thrilling, surprising, and every bit of a No. 4 spot here.
