The Washington Commanders will be rolling with backup QB Marcus Mariota in this week's game, which usually means fewer pass attempts and more rush attempts.The model projects the Commanders to call the 8th-fewest total plays on the slate this week with 63.2 plays, accounting for their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.The Commanders have called the 7th-fewest plays in the NFL this year, averaging just 53.1 plays per game.The pass games of both teams (as it relates to both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (read: no wind) inside this dome, while ground volume may decline.As it relates to the linebackers' role in stopping the run, Miami's LB corps has been phenomenal this year, grading out as the 9th-best in football.
