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.Custom Shirts Outlet . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Web.

Both men have done their bits, with bat and ball, respectively, to build New Zealand into a competitive Test outfit that has steadily climbed the rankings. Their mini-milestone makes them part of an elite club. Only 18 other New Zealand players have racked up 50 caps, and of those, just three have gone on to double the number. As Kiwis, we are stuck with eight Tests a year, so for them to achieve 50 Tests - its over a long period of time. Tim has grown in stature over the last couple of years and Kane has been Kane for a long period of time. Theyve both put in big performances for us. -- BJ WatlingESPNcricinfo takes a look at three of the biggest moments in the careers of New Zealands Northern Districts team-mates.Dazzling debutsBoth Southee and Williamson made an immediate impact after making their Test debuts.Southee was drafted into the XI for the third Test of the 2008 home series against England on the back of performances at the Under-19 World Cup in Malaysia, after Kyle Mills was injured. By that stage, Southee had already made his debut in the shorter formats. Daniel Vettori believed he was ready and Southee showed exactly that.In his second over, he had Michael Vaughan trapped lbw, and went on to remove Andrew Strauss as Englands top order crashed to 4 for 3. Later, Southee claimed Kevin Pietersen, Stuart Broad and Ryan Sidebottom to finish with 5 for 55, but it was not enough to prevent a New Zealand defeat.Two years later, Williamson, who had been on New Zealands radar from the age of 14, but whose international career began with a couple of ducks in ODIs, was picked for the first Test of the tour of India, in Ahmedabad. After watching India pile on the runs, he saw his own side slip, before pulling them up to level terms through a 194-run stand with Jesse Ryder - New Zealands second-highest fifth-wicket stand in Tests. Both batsmen notched up centuries, with Williamsons back-foot technique particularly standing out. His efforts helped New Zealand draw the match.Subcontinental success Making an impact on the surfaces in the subcontinent is seen as a defining moment in a cricketers career. For Southee, that came in 2012, when Williamson had a second success.Southees swing got the better of India in Bangalore where he accounted for all but three of their batsmen on his way to 7 for 64.dddddddddddd Southee dismissed Gautam Gambhir and Cheteshwar Pujara in his opening spell, Suresh Raina later on, before engineering a lower-order collapse in which India lost four wickets for 19 runs. Of note was the way he consistently moved the ball away from the right-handers and used the offcutter. New Zealand took a 12-run first-innings lead, but still lost the match. Southee followed up with a five-for against Sri Lanka in Colombo later that year. In that same Colombo Test, Williamson scored his third Test century and put on a defiant 262-run third-wicket stand with Ross Taylor. Having already lost the first match, New Zealand had slipped to 14 for 2, when Williamson and Taylor came together and showed fight. In a chanceless five hours at the crease, Williamsons work off the back foot was particularly impressive, but his ability against spin too made the century special. New Zealand won the match and squared the series. Williamson has since struck centuries in Chittagong and Sharjah.On the Lords honours board Being recognised at the Home of Cricket is also an important step in a cricketers career. Southees moment came in the first Test of their 2013 tour, when he kept New Zealand in the match after England had taken a slender first-innings lead. At 159 for 2 in the second innings, England were 184 ahead when Southee flattened Joe Roots middle stump and took out Johnny Bairstows entire set, before bouncing out Matt Prior to take three wickets in 16 deliveries. He went on to remove Ian Bell and Graeme Swann to finish with 6 for 50. New Zealand had a gettable 239 to chase, but were bowled out for 68.Williamsons inscription on the board came two years later, in 2015. After England posted 389, New Zealand began a solid reply, but it was Williamson who allowed them to edge ahead with another solid stand with Taylor - of 189 runs - and an assured century, his 10th in Test cricket. Williamson had not batted for more than a month before that innings, but his timing, especially through third man, and his concentration at the crease were the complete opposite of a man who may have been out of touch. He ensured New Zealand took a healthy 134-run lead, although they eventually lost by 124 runs. ' ' '
