Denver's blocked extra point

Post by Bob Gill »

It looked like the Denver guy jumped over the line to get in and block the kick, but it seems to me I've seen penalties called for that in the past. Or was the penalty for using a teammate as a vaulting horse to get more elevation, or something like that? Anyway, it was a great play, and I don't think things like that should be penalized, so I'm not complaining.

On a related note, is that the first time the defensive team has scored on a blocked conversion? It's the first time I can think of, anyway, and it certainly had the maximum impact on the game. I bet Roger Goodell was pleased.

The Saints did it last year against the Panthers. I think it has happened three times now.

The Ravens did it to the Browns in Week 2, and it changed the momentum of the game:
