For someone who takes an unhealthy amount of pride in being disciplined and avoiding drama, Tom Coughlin sure picks odd moments to needlessly up the ante. Take, for example, a Giants visit to the Bears' house on Dec. 2, 2007. New York was behind 16-14 but had a first-and-goal at the Chicago 2-yard line with 1:37 remaining. The Bears were down to one timeout. Coughlin faced a choice:
A) Go for the touchdown.
B) Milk the clock and kick a field goal.

1. 2007 Wild Card: Jaguars vs. Steelers Just three weeks after the Jags beat the Steelers 29-22 on the road to the postseason, Pittsburgh was afforded the opportunity for revenge in the playoffs. The game was much like the previous meeting—a rough and tumble affair with explosive plays on both sides of the ball. With 1:56 left in the game, and Jacksonville trailing 29-28, the Jaguars faced fourth-and-two on the Steelers' 43-yard line.
