This year, every touchdown is subject to review.

Apparently, “every” doesn’t mean what it used to mean.

On what likely will be a game-clinching 12 yard touchdown pass from quarterback Drew Brees to running back Darren Sproles, Sproles stepped out of bounds on the one.

But the guys in the replay booth never buzzed the referee to take a closer look at it. And so the referee never looked at it. And so the touchdown stands.

Saints lead, 30-13.
