The projections expect the Los Angeles Chargers to be the least run-oriented team on the slate this week with a 36.6% run rate, based on their underlying play style and matchup dynamics.The passing offenses of both teams (including both volume and efficiency) figure to benefit from the still weather conditions (0-mph wind) being predicted in this game, while ground volume may decline.Austin Ekeler has been a much smaller piece of his offense's running game this season (40.0% Carry Share in games he has been on the field) than he was last season (54.8%).When talking about blocking for rushers (and the importance it has on all ground game stats), the O-line of the Los Angeles Chargers profiles as the worst in the league last year.As it relates to the defensive ends' role in stopping the run, Dallas's collection of DEs has been fantastic this year, ranking as the 2nd-best in football.
