This game is definitely going to rest in the hands of the defense.
Break the kittens' spirit, and there's no late comeback.

yeah, the O will have to score some point, and will have to sustain some drives to let the D rest, but IMO this game really boils down to the D being able to keep the pressure up on stafford without gambling to much with bringing extra pressure.@JimmyinSD said:

Maybe its just my own fan lens, but for some reason the D intensity is better in a tight game vs playing ahead...I don't always like Zimmer's play calling in a game where we're ahead either.@JimmyinSD said:

That said, I'd rather be playing from ahead lol!
