description

Superstar Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey would go on to make many incredible interceptions with his new team, but few were as spectacular as this one he made in 2004, his first year in Denver. Playing the Saints in Week 11, Bailey came out of nowhere to jump in front of the receiver on this throw to the back of the end zone, leaping to pick the ball off and somehow managing to tap both feet in bounds as he was flying past the sideline. The play was initially ruled as an incomplete pass, but after further review, the call was reversed, and Bailey was granted one of the most spectacular interceptions of his career. Bailey tallied 13 tackles in this one as well, two of which went for a loss, as the Broncos beat New Orleans, 34-13, on Nov. 21, 2004.
