Coughlin won't discuss on-field confrontation with Bradshaw

Neither Tom Coughlin nor Ahmad Bradshaw wanted to discuss the heated exchange between the New York Giants head coach and his running back in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Washington  Redskins.

Bradshaw gave the silent treatment to the media in front of his locker after the thrilling 27-23 win and Coughlin spoke, but didn't say anything specific about the on-field incident.

"That's between he and I," Coughlin said after the game.



Bradshaw was seen yelling at Coughlin as he headed back on the field after a Giants interception but it wasn't the only time the running back was seen barking at others on the same sideline.

The fired-up running back approached teammate Victor Cruz after a 15-yard run and gave the receiver some lip. Cameras also caught Bradshaw slamming his helmet then jawing at position coach Jerald Ingram as well.

Who knows what was eating Bradshaw.  He started in the backfield after nursing a foot injury all week leading up to the game.  It's the same injury which has plagued the running back throughout his six-year career.



It's hard to pinpoint what could have set the moody Bradshaw off.  He has been having one of the best stretches of his career.  After wrecking the Cleveland Browns for 200 yards, he rumbled over the vaunted San Francisco 49ers defense for 116 yards last week.

Could it be the pedestrian 43 yards on 12 carries he gained against the Redskins that made him need a Snickers? Bradshaw's tantrums look better suited for the presidential debates.

Apparently there was still some tension after the game — even after the win against a division rival was in the books.

Hopefully, Bradshaw's thorn in his foot doesn't become one in Coughlin's side.
