2007 New York Giants

I think the Giants pretzeled during their last loss of the season.  In the last game of the season, they played and lost to the undefeated New England Patriots.  The Giants fell to 10-6 and the Patriots went to 16-0.  What followed over the next four weeks was nothing short of incredible.  At the time, the Giants had sewn up the 5 seed in the NFC playoffs.  No matter what the outcome of the game they weren’t moving any higher or lower.  Yet, still Tom Coughlin played it as if it was a playoff game.  He played all his starters even the banged up Plaxico Burress.  They gave the Patriots their largest deficit they had to face all season.  By hanging tough with the Pats, the Giants had their pretzel moment.  It spurred them on with confidence and momentum for the playoffs.  They beat the Bucs in the wild card matchup in a game that was never really in any doubt.   Had a 4th quarter comeback win against the Cowboys that included an end zone interception on a defensive stand on the last drive.  In the NFC title game, the Giants won in OT following a classic Favre choke job.  They then avenged their last loss in the Super Bowl against the Pats that had one of the most famous sports plays in history with the helmet catch.  Tell me what other pretzel moments you think the 07 Giants had in the comments.
