The forecast calls for 4-mph wind in this game. Low wind generally means increased pass volume, increased TD potential, and increased passing efficiency.
Opposing quarterbacks have averaged 36.5 pass attempts per game vs. the Seattle Seahawks defense since the start of last season: 6th-most in the league.
THE BLITZ projects Albert Okwuegbunam to accrue 4.4 targets in this contest, on average, ranking in the 79th percentile among tight ends.
Albert Okwuegbunam has been among the best possession receivers in the NFL among TEs, hauling in an impressive 81.7% of balls thrown his way since the start of last season, checking in at the 94th percentile.

Favors Under

The Broncos are a 6.5-point favorite this week, indicating a rushing game script.
THE BLITZ projects the Denver Broncos as the 2nd-least pass-centric team among all teams this week with a 55.6% pass rate, accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
THE BLITZ projects this game to have the lowest volume of plays run among all games this week at 124.1 plays, given the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
The Denver Broncos have called the 6th-least plays in football since the start of last season, totaling just 60.5 plays per game.
The Denver Broncos have gone no-huddle on a measly 3.8% of their play-calls outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (8th-least in football). This deadens the pace, leading to less volume and stat production.
