I watched this live and now I have watched this 10 plus time. The ball bounced out of the endzone.

Am I seeing this correctly.

this is the reason they got rid of the coloured endzones.

Lord, I remember that.



It helps if you know the rules of the game.

The announcers said players were running on to the field. I assume he means both teams, so that shoulda been a penalty

I was there.
The ball stayed in play but at the very least it should have been offsetting penalties for both sides having way too many players on the field.

By the time he scored there were probably 40 people on the field. Absurd that it wasn’t flagged. I get that it’s a heads up play, but it annoys me that it’s lauded as this incredible feat, when the Rams offense, Saints defense and both team’s special teams were on the field when it happened.

I was at this game, I was 10 years old and it was the first Saints I ever attended. Yes, everyone and their mother (from both teams) was on the field while Bailey was running it back. I don't know what the official rule is, but it's hard to believe it shouldn't have been a penalty of some sort.

Also, this was the game that Tyrone Hughes returned 2 kickoffs for touchdowns and set the single game kick return yardage record (304). He also had a pick in the game. Both Bailey and Hughes' records still stand today. Hughes' record has a chance of being broken someday now that they changed the kickoff rules to promote more returns. It would take something really crazy to see Bailey's record fall now that punts that go into the end zone are automatically downed.
