To have everything going in your favor until the last moment. Derived from the 2007-2008 season New England Patriots whose quest for a perfect season was derailed by the New York Giants in the Superbowl XLII.

18-1 is probably one of the most embarrassing records to have in football history. It may be thought that winning 18 games and only losing 1 is a good thing, but when that last game is at the super bowl to a wild card team, it is nothing to brag about.
The patriots went into the super bowl with an 18-0 record. After getting spanked by the giants they went 18-1 and went from "unbeatable" and "perfection" to "embarrassed".
