Sounds like "yeah, duh" but I think the team that controls the lines is important. The Broncos will need to hold off Antonio Smith, Barwin, Reed and Watt. I'm not sure the Denver OL can do that. On the other side, Houston needs to open holes in the running game and keep Schaub from having close encounters with Elvis Dumervil and Von Miller. Should be a good one.
Secret weapon. Texans added Ryan Harris as a reserve who was a late cut by the Broncos. He may be valuable in exposing some of Manning's reads and tendencies.
