The D just has to limit it's own mistakes and play smash mouth football. You are not going to stop them from scoring, but as long as you don't give up the big play, they should be able to keep New England from scoring too much.

The Patriots have not seen a top 10 pass defense yet this year. The Skins currently sit #8, and have a capable secondary to cover Moss, Stallworth and Welker. #5 against the run should stop Maroney/Morris/Faulk from getting their 133 ypg.

The offense needs to help the defense by staying on the field longer than 25 minutes...I think a good defense is going to be a clock-eating offense this weekend.
