2007 AFC Wild Card Game: Jacksonville Jaguars 31, Pittsburgh Steelers 29
It wasn't so much that the Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field, it was how they did it. The Jags cheated.
Jacksonville had the ball at their 49-yard line, with one timeout and 2:38 left on the clock.
Three plays later, after a solid Steelers' defensive stand, the Jags were in a fourth-and-two situation.
Lining up in the shotgun formation, Jacksonville appeared ready to pass for the first down. But Jags quarterback David Garrard, after taking two steps back, takes off running.
Garrard sprints pass the line of scrimmage, rushes pass the first down maker and one elusive move later, carries the ball all the way to Steelers 11-yard line before getting tackled. It's a 32-yard run!

how is that cheating?

We usually don't call committing a foul "cheating" but technically it is "cheating." Besides, saying the Jags cheated sounds better than saying they "committed a foul that wasn't called by the referees."

WEEKLY ESPN PODCAST: RING IN 2009
Lots to catch up on with this week's podcast with Dave Dameshek, who bravely battled on despite the presence of a nasty cold.
