Seattle Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren said the key thing that his team must guard against regarding the incoming Washington Redskins is the big play.

Holmgren said that not only has Washington's offense been very explosive, but the Seahawks' defense has also been very susceptible to the big play.

"Our pass defense lately, we haven't done as great a job as I would like," Holmgren said. "They are a big-play team. I think they have good speed on the outside, so we got to prevent that. Our tackling's been better, our effort's been good. We have to prevent the big play."
