ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- Just last month, Joe DeCamillis, the Denver Broncos special teams coach, vehemently defended the NFL rule that allows players to leap over the snapper to block a field goal or extra point attempt so long as any contact is incidental.
DeCamillis shared his thoughts after Arizona coach Bruce Arians complained about Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner's leaping block of a 39-yard field goal attempt in a frustrating 6-6 tie.
''The reason that is a prevalent play in my opinion is because of what they've done to field goals as far as your restrictions in trying to block things,'' DeCamillis said.
