Obvious: Keep them from scoring
But more specifically we need to play back in the first half and hold them to field goals in the first half to keep them capitalizing on our offense with exotic blitzes in the second half they use when they have a big lead.
Stop the run and run the ball. Raider football stop the run on early downs and put them in predictable passing situations. Run the ball to keep time of possession on our side and press tyreek at the line.
If we do all that we can keep it close enough that our defense can get stops later in the game and we can take advantage
Control time of possession and defense needs to play their asses off, Tyreek/Waddle are menaces and Mostert is a solid RB
Tyree Wilson. Armstead will play, but he’ll play hurt. He needs to use this as his 1st round pick statement game.
Their oline as a whole is in really bad shape at the moment so aside from Tyree, Maxx will probably have himself a day.
Stop run, put Tua on his ass all day, and Supertrooper gotta sling it.
If we don’t put up 30 we won’t be in this game.
The key is 2 JJ tds. 1 from Mayer and 1 from Meyers and 2 from Adams.
Maybe sprinkle in a defensive TD and a few Carlson fgs.
We have to score TDs in the red zone .
How do you play back, and stop the run? You have to pick your poison. Stack the box and stop the run or play back and let them dink and dunk.
Dline needs to get to Tua.
We need to rush for 200 yards.
The DL has to shut down the run game. The moment LBs have to play up to stop the run is the moment they hit you with a play action and make huge chunk gains
Just keep them within arms length, gives ourselves a chance at the end to win it, and anything can happen
