Om Field: Three Keys to MNF vs Steelers

[GMScud]

"Losing to the Steelers wouldn’t be a disaster—at 6-3, Washington would still be in prime position to make a playoff run. But it would be a huge missed opportunity to announce to the league—and more importantly, themselves—that at they are now one of those teams you’d better have your chinstrap locked down tight against from the opening gun."

I couldn't agree more. We're respected, but you get the feeling the pundits aren't really sold on us. We win narrowly and often times in ugly fashion, we aren't really flashy in any way, and we don't force turnovers or sacks- those sexy plays that dominate highlight reels. The key word for me is opporunity. Boy oh boy do we have a big one tonight.
