No more hot seat for Tom Coughlin. No more second-guessing. The 65-year-old Coughlin made NFL history on Sunday, becoming the oldest coach to win a Super Bowl by guiding the Giants to a 21-17 victory over New England for his second NFL championship in four years.

(Mon, 06 Feb 2012 00:46:34 PST)
Bill Belichick saw the New York Giants at the 6-yard line and a clock with only 64 seconds left on it.
