Ontheair Giants to the Lombardi Trophy in the 2007 and 2011 seasons. "While the two Super Bowl trophies are incred- ible accomplishments, and I'm very proud of them, don't get me wrong, I be- lieve it is the unbreak- able bond between coach and player that defines me as a coach and any hum- ble success we might have had here as New York Gi- ant coaches," Coughlin said last week. Coughlin's Giants beat the Jim Harbaugh-coached 49ers 20-17 in overtime in the NFC championship game following the 2011 season en route to their second Super Bowl. New York was 9-7 and a wild- card team Coughlin turns 70 on Aug. 31. The oldest coach in NFL history was George Halas, who was 72 and 10 months when he coached his 40th and final season with the Chicago Bears in 1967. Marv Levy was 72 and three months in his final season as the Buffalo Bills coach in 1997. In 20 seasons as a head coach, Coughlin produced 10 winning records, nine playoff runs and a regu- lar-season record of 170- 150 (12-7 in the postsea- son). Those 170 wins are tied for 11th-most in NFL his- tory with Mike Shanahan, who interviewed with the 49ers last year and report- edly has drawn interest but not yet an interview this year. 49ers FROM PAGE 1 MARK TENALLY — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Green Bay Packers tight end Richard Rodgers (82) celebrates with quarterback Aaron Rodgers (12) a er wide receiver Davante Adams caught a touchdown pass during the first half of an NFL wild-card playoff game Sunday against the Washington Redskins in Landover, Md. catch by Richard Rodgers as time expired on a des- peration pass from Aaron Rodgers. Last week against Wash- ington, the Packers were back to scoring points in bunches after a sluggish first quarter. They moved the ball ef- fectively in no-huddle and shotgun formations. Rod- gers caught the Redskins secondary at least a cou- ple of times on free plays, including a 12-yard score to Randall Cobb in the second quarter. The run game got bet- ter as the game progressed. When they're moving the ball effectively at a quick tempo, it creates energy. More energy, in turn, can sharpen offensive play. "It's part of being part of a no-huddle offense, it's im- portant to us," McCarthy said on Tuesday. "That's the way we prefer to play, and we're all about getting as many attempts at the plate as possible." It's made possible start- ing with the offensive line, whose top priority is to protect Rodgers. When the offense is in sync, Rodgers doesn't need much time to find his receivers. When Rodgers is rolling and feeling good, the Pack- ers are hard to stop. "Your best players, par- ticularly your best player has to practice hard ev- ery day. He has outstand- ing energy," McCarthy said. If the Packers are mov- ing the ball, defenders could get worn down while being stuck on the field when Rodgers goes no- huddle. Or a defense runs the risk of Rodgers taking advantage of a free play if a team can't substitute in time before a penalty flag is thrown. More immediately, the Packers have to figure out how to make the offense work against the Cardi- nals, three weeks after get- ting blown out 38-8 by Ari- zona in the desert in Week 16. The Cardinals had nine sacks and outgained the Packers 381-178. Rodgers had a disastrous day with two fumbles lost on sacks that were returned for touchdowns. In a best-case scenario, the Packers build a big lead, then force the op- ponent into a one-dimen- sional offense that allows Green Bay's pass rush to start teeing off. "This is the way I learned it, the traditional West Coast offense built around making the quar- terback successful," Mc- Carthy said, "and the best way to do that is to have a strong run game, play run and pass, and playing as fast as you can." NOTES: The team re- turns to the practice field on Wednesday, when Mc- Carthy said he would have a better idea on the avail- ability of WR Davante Ad- ams, who left the Redskins game in the third quarter with a right knee injury. Adams said at the time he didn't think the injury was serious. ... CB Sam Shields remains in the concussion protocol. ... CB Quinten Rollins (quad) was doing everything he can to play, McCarthy said, adding that the rookie was "knocking it out of the park" as far as the treatment. ... The Pack- ers will practice in Green Bay on Friday morning be- fore departing for Arizona in the early afternoon.

Drew Stafford took a giveaway from Sharks de- fenseman Justin Braun, skated into the offensive zone and sent a backhand pass across the front of the net to Ehlers, who used his own backhand to score his seventh goal of the season at 15:41. Thornton restored the Sharks' lead with 37 sec- onds left in the opening period on a close-in shot off Tomas Hertl's rebound. The Sharks are 17-2 when scoring first. Winnipeg coach Paul Maurice changed up his defensive pairings in the second period, but the team couldn't beat Stalock. The Jets outshot the Sharks 8-6 in the middle frame, but San Jose had the overall 17-15 edge. Winnipeg went on its third power play early in the final period, but couldn't convert. Helle- buyck then stopped Ward on a breakaway. The Sharks got their fourth power play of the game midway through the period, but came away empty. They had another chance a few minutes later after Jets defenseman Tyler Myers was called for cross- checking and a game mis- conduct when he banged Wingels in the head after Wingels checked him hard into the boards. Jets forward Blake Wheeler appeared to score afterStalockfellcomingout of his crease on a clearing attempt, but Wheeler was whistled for tripping the netminder as he went by him and around the back of the net to grab the puck. With the Sharks on a long 5-on-3, Pavelski took a pass from Tierney and fired a sharp-angle shot by Hellebuyck with 4:01 re- maining. Ward put in his empty- netter with 54 seconds left.
