The Vikings will be forced to start backup quarterback Carson Wentz in this week's contest, which typically means fewer pass attempts and more rushing.The air attacks of both teams (including both volume and efficiency) figure to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (read: zero wind) inside this dome, while run volume may suffer.Opposing teams have averaged 34.5 pass attempts per game vs. the Bengals defense since the start of last season: 7th-most in football.Since the start of last season, the deficient Bengals defense has conceded a whopping 240.0 adjusted passing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks: the 5th-most in football.Since the start of last season, the anemic Bengals defense has allowed the 10th-most adjusted yards-per-target in the NFL to the opposing side: a colossal 8.02 yards.
