It's ironic, but of the current head coaches in the NFL, Cowher and Reid have to have the worst records in Conference Title Games.

Cowher's 1-3 coming into this weekend.
Reid's 0-3.

The Eagles and Steelers both need to establish leads early. This will force the Pats to abandon their running game and the Falcons to abandon theirs. The Eagles would then be able to operate without the pressure of "three straight conference title losses" albatrossing them and would allow the Steelers to work their running game on the Pats late.

But I don't see it happening.
