The model projects the New England Patriots to be the 4th-least pass-focused team in football (context-neutralized) at the present time with a 55.3% pass rate.Accounting for the game dynamics and the underlying play styles of each team, this game is predicted by the projection model to see just 122.0 offensive plays called: the lowest number out of all the games this week.The 7th-smallest volume of plays in the league have been called by the Patriots since the start of last season (just 56.3 per game on average).When it comes to pass-blocking (and the influence it has on all pass game statistics), the O-line of the Patriots ranks as the 5th-worst in football since the start of last season.Austin Hooper's possession skills have declined this year, with his Adjusted Completion% decreasing from 81.0% to 41.1%.
