The key, I think, will be mistake free football. No dumb penalties and no turnovers.

If you think about it, Seattle played a near perfect game. No turnovers and only a few penalties - one of which cost them the game! (the pass interference on 3rd and 10 that gave us the ball at the 4 and that, in turn, led to a Skins score). The Skins had TWO penalties for 10 yards. Seattle had 8 for 84 (take away the interference call and it is 7 for 55). There were no fumbles by either team and only one interception. Seattle is a good team, they played a near perfect game, and we beat them by not beating ourselves.

If the Skins can duplicate that effort against the Broncos - they WILL win, even if the Broncos, like Seattle, play near perfect football.

Think about it, when was the last time you saw a game, any game, with as few mistakes by both teams? 10 total penalties for 94 yards and one interception? I can't remember the last one like that.

Denver is a good team and we are playing in a tough place BUT, if we don't kill ourselves, this team is more than good enough to beat them.
