The projections expect the Commanders as the 8th-least pass-oriented team among all teams this week with a 54.9% pass rate, given their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics.The Washington Commanders have played in the 10th-most "low wind" (4-mph or less) games in the NFL last year, which should result in lower pass volume, increased running volume, and reduced passing attack efficiency when facing windier conditions in this week's game.As it relates to air yards, Austin Ekeler grades out in the measly 5th percentile among RBs last year, totaling just -5.0 per game.With a weak 72.2% Adjusted Completion Rate (19th percentile) last year, Austin Ekeler rates as one of the least sure-handed receivers in football among running backs.Last year, the imposing Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense has surrendered the 6th-least adjusted yards-per-target in the NFL to opposing running backs: a paltry 5.2 yards.
