It does feel like the offense will do enough to win, and anything "heroic" would come from the defense, banged up as they are.
I mean we're looking at a one-shouldered Matthews; 2 guys with giants clubs for hands; a geriatric Peppers; a converted WR brought up from the practice squad at CB; converted safeties, injured guys and rookies in the defensive backfield; and rookies or second year guys all over the front 7.
Here's your surprise hero if they get the job done: Dom Freaking Compers.
