Here’s the million-dollar question this week in New Orleans: Did Broncos safety Will Parks step out of bounds? Late in Sunday's Broncos vs. Saints game, Denver’s safety Justin Simmons used a perfectly timed leap over the offensive line to block an extra-point kick that would have given New Orleans a late lead. Will Parks scooped up the ball and ran it back 84 yards for a defensive 2-point conversion, and the Broncos pulled out a wild 25-23 victory over the Saints. But did Parks step out of bounds? Officials reviewed the play and found no conclusive video evidence to overturn the call on the field, which was a score. WDSU photojournalist Alvin Moore was positioned down the sideline that Parks ran. Here’s what we saw: From our video, it's hard to tell if Parks stepped out of bounds. In my opinion, it's an “eye of the beholder’ play. Basically, it’s too close to call. Had the officials originally determined Parks stepped out of bounds, that ruling would have stood. However, in the moment, the officials didn't rule him out, so the play stands and Denver escaped with a win. Officials aside, even with our footage, it is hard to tell because of the white cleats and the paint on the sideline. Had Parks worn black shoes, we might be able to give a definitive answer. Maybe the NFL should adopt a policy of dark cleats because all end zones and yard markers are white. Only time will tell. Keep up with local news, weather and current events with the WDSU app here.
