Our trusted projections expect the Lions to run the 11th-fewest total plays among all teams this week with 63.5 plays, given their underlying play style and game dynamics.The Lions have played in the most "low wind" (4-mph or less) games in the league since the start of last season, which ought to mean lower pass volume, higher running volume, and reduced offense results when facing windier conditions in this week's contest.Amon-Ra St. Brown's talent in picking up extra yardage have tailed off this year, notching a measly 0.00 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) vs a 3.57 figure last year.Since the start of last season, the tough Baltimore Ravens pass defense has yielded the least yards-after-the-catch in football to opposing wideouts: a paltry 3.3 YAC.The Baltimore Ravens safeties rank as the 4th-best group of safeties in the NFL since the start of last season in pass coverage.
