Here's an interesting article. It's about kicking a Field Goal when you have 4th down on the 1 yard line, as McCarthy did against Seattle yesterday:

I saw it referenced on IAOFM :

Going for the John Fox Special isn’t as safe an idea as one might think

Mike McCarthy and Kicking from One Yard Away
thebiglead.com

Teams that went for it and converted, to take a touchdown lead, ultimately went 19-5 in those games.
Teams that went for it and failed, to remain tied and leave the opponent usually backed up inside the 1 yard line, went 15-5.
Teams that kicked the field goal (all of them made), to take a three point lead and then kickoff, went 13-14.

Here's hoping we're not referring to it as the Gary Kubiak Special next year...
