At the present time, the 10th-most run-heavy team in the NFL in the red zone (45.7% adjusted for context) according to the model is the 49ers.The leading projections forecast Christian McCaffrey to be a much smaller part of his offense's pass game near the end zone in this game (25.7% projected Red Zone Target Share) than he has been this year (31.0% in games he has played).As it relates to protecting the quarterback (and the effect it has on all passing attack statistics), the O-line of the 49ers grades out as the 9th-worst in football this year.With an exceptional rate of 0.36 rushing touchdowns per game (85th percentile), Christian McCaffrey has been as one of the leading rushing TD-scorers in football this year.This year, the tough Los Angeles Rams defense has conceded a puny 76.9% Adjusted Completion Rate versus opposing running backs: the 7th-best rate in the NFL.
