I am not sure of the exact game but it was during the 1999 season. Here is a link to a good description of instant replay over the years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_replay -----
The answer above describes instant replay in the context of helping game officials make the correct call. The first time instant replay was used in an NFL broadcast was during a preseason game between the 49ers and Colts on August 6, 1965.
Instant replay was first used in the NFL starting in the 1986 season. All replays were initiated by NFL replay officials and coaches were not allowed to 'challenge'. This system lasted until 1992 when the NFL owners voted to discontinue the use of instant replay. Replay returned to the NFL in 1999 and coaches were allowed to challenge a maximum of two plays per game. For the 2004 season, the replay rule was amended to allow a coach a third challenge if the first two challenges were successful.

The Baltimore Colts had the first cheerleading squad in the NFL.
You can watch the replay of the game on the NFL Network.
Fritz Pollard was the first African American quarterback in the NFL. He was also the first African American coach in the NFL.
Instant replay was first implemented in the NFL for the 1986 season. It lasted until after the 1992 season when the owners voted to get rid of it. It was again voted into the NFL in 1999 and has been a part of the game ever since.

I don't mean to be funny here, but the answer is 'sometimes'. MLB instituted the use of instant replay during the 2008 season. It can be used to determine whether a ball left the park for a home run and to determine whether there was fan interference on a play. But unlike the NFL, where the coach has a red flag that he throws onto the field to indicate a challenge and instant replay will be used to determine the correct call, the MLB manager has no such ability. All 'challenges' are initiated by the crew chief of the umpires working the game. So it might be possible for the manager to convince the crew chief that the play was called wrongly and have instant replay used. But if the crew chief believes the call was made correctly, and usually he consults with the other umpires to get their interpretation of the play, there is no chance that instant replay can be used.
NFL Replay was created in 2006.
Yes, the Saints for instant
this is a hard question to answer i would say anywhere between 35 and 50 percent maybe even a little higher all depends on coach
