THE BLITZ projects this game to play at the 11th-slowest pace among all games this week, averaging 27.07 seconds per play accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.The weather forecast calls for 3-mph wind in this game. Low wind usually means higher pass volume, higher touchdown potential, and better passing efficiency.Christian McCaffrey has been a more important option in his team's offense this year, staying on the field for 71.1% of snaps vs just 60.0% last year.The Washington Commanders defensive ends rank as the 8th-best collection of DEs in football this year when it comes to defending the run.The San Francisco 49ers have been faced with a stacked the box on 18.6% of their plays since the start of last season, 8th-most in the league. Bringing an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
