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.Our trusted projections expect the Minnesota Vikings to be the 4th-most pass-oriented offense in the NFL near the goal line (in a neutral context) at the moment with a 60.9% red zone pass rate.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 Cincinnati Bengals defense has been torched for a monstrous 1.68 passing TDs per game to opposing quarterbacks: the 5th-worst rate in football.
