The Buccaneers have a new play-caller this year in offensive coordinator Dave Canales, and the projections expect their pass/run mix to tilt 6.4% more towards rushing than it did last year (adjusted for context).Given their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the projections expect the Buccaneers to run on 43.7% of their plays: the 9th-highest frequency among all teams this week.Windy weather conditions (like the 12-mph being forecasted in this game) generally lead to worse passing effectiveness, reduced air attack volume, and higher rush volume.The predictive model expects Baker Mayfield to total 4.3 rush attempts this week, on balance: the 9th-most out of all quarterbacks.
