The Indianapolis Colts will be forced to use backup QB Philip Rivers in this week's game, which typically means fewer pass attempts and more rushes.At a -13-point disadvantage, the Colts are enormous underdogs in this week's contest, suggesting much more of an emphasis on moving the ball through the air than their normal game plan.The Seattle Seahawks defense has been a well-known pass funnel this year, enticing opposing teams to attempt the 3rd-most passes in the league (39.0 per game) this year.Our trusted projections expect Alec Pierce to be a more integral piece of his offense's passing game near the end zone in this week's contest (15.5% projected Red Zone Target Share) than he has been this year (8.8% in games he has played).After accumulating 96.0 air yards per game last season, Alec Pierce has undergone big improvement this season, currently averaging 115.0 per game.
