History repeats itself: Coughlin flunks math again in loss to Cowboys

To echo the words of legendary baseball announcer Jack Buck, after gimp-legged Kirk Gibson's memorable home run won Game 1 of the 1988 World Series: “I don’t believe what I just saw.”

Watching the end of the Dallas Cowboys’ improbable 27-26 win over the New York Giants Sunday night, it was baffling Giants coach Tom Coughlin repeated an almost identical gaffe from a 21-20 loss to the Cleveland Browns in 2002, which was a pivotal outcome in him being fired by then Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver.

Give credit to Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo for leading a 72-yard touchdown drive in the final 1:27 to win the game.
