The biggest thing that needs to happen for the Ravens is for Ngata and Jones- the interior of the d-line- to have a big game.
Shove the pocket back in Manning's lap, and good things will happen. Don't do that, and we're going to have a tough time winning.
On the plus side, Ngata seemed to have more push last game. We'll see.
No huddle for 60 minutes, score early and often, and hope that somehow our D can hold Manning under 30. And a couple of plays on ST wouldn't hurt.
Defense needs to tackle. Denver runs a lot of short routes.

No lead is safe. Keep the pedal down for 60 minutes; another 4th quarter blown lead and I'm gonna need blood pressure meds
Keys to the game? Peyton is driving a ferrari and the Ravens are driving a used pinto.
O-Line, particularly Oher. Contain Von Miller and we'll have a shot. Contain Peyton and we'll have a shot. I hope the boys had photos of those two by their mirror every morning, Rocky Balboa style
It would help if the Ravens DB's don't play 8-10 yards off Denver's Recievers.
Have to jam them at the line and throw off Manning's timing on their routes. Seems like we've had that problem all year.
Key for me is not getting Flacco killed by their pass rush. Give him time and we have a chance.
Score, score, score and score again. Never take the foot off the gas.
Not expecting a whole lot from the defense. Just TACKLE!!! Get a push in the interior and hold Peyton to a few FGs.
The Broncos had some trouble getting it into the end zone against the Raiders, and the Ravens have been fairly stout in the red zone. Keeping Manning to field goals is a definite key to the game for the Ravens.Quote:

We need to keep Peyton off the field. We need to run the ball 25 times today, and with overall success. And mostly short passes to keep completion at 65% on them, with a couple downfield attempts
can't remember last time I was so sure of a loss. here's hoping I'm wrong.
