																				At the present time, the 9th-most pass-oriented team in the NFL near the goal line (58.0% in a neutral context) according to the predictive model is the Broncos.The model projects the Broncos to run the 5th-most total plays among all teams this week with 66.6 plays, given their underlying strategic approach and game dynamics.The 9th-highest number of plays in football have been called by the Broncos this year (a massive 59.6 per game on average).As it relates to protecting the quarterback (and the strong impact it has on all pass game metrics), the O-line of the Broncos profiles as the 2nd-best in the NFL this year.Adam Trautman's 86.0% Adjusted Catch% this season illustrates a significant progression in his pass-catching ability over last season's 63.8% figure.
