It depends on their health. The oline is still struggling but the return of Beatty will definitely help. Cruz returning may open up the offense more and draw less coverage away from RR and OBJ.
On defense, the return of JPP is significant. They've had an anemic pass rush so far with Spags having to risk secondary blitzes to generate pressure. Lining up JPP with Ayers and Owa might be enough to have some success. Also, Prince being healthy for the stretch will be key.
The team has it's faults but they're leading a relatively weak division and have arguably the best QB/coach combination in the conference (for the playoffs). If they keep improving and get into the playoffs, history has shown that you can't count them out.
