At a -6.5-point disadvantage, the Falcons are underdogs in this week's game, indicating more of an emphasis on moving the ball through the air than their typical approach.Opposing teams have averaged 39.2 pass attempts per game versus the Indianapolis Colts defense this year: 5th-most in the league.In regards to air yards, Bijan Robinson grades out in the towering 95th percentile among running backs this year, averaging an astounding 7.0 per game. (as a result of being targeted behind the line of scrimmage, this is far more notable than it appears since most RBs have negative air yards).Bijan Robinson's 32.6 WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced metric that examines high-value offensive volume) has been substantially higher this year than it was last year at 21.9.As it relates to protecting the quarterback (and the positive impact it has on all passing attack stats), the offensive line of the Falcons grades out as the 9th-best in football this year.
