Key Factors
Favors Over
The Dallas Cowboys have run the 2nd-most plays in football since the start of last season, totaling a whopping 66.4 plays per game.
THE BLITZ projects Cooper Rush to be a much bigger part of his team's rushing attack this week (10.1% projected Carry Share) than he has been since the start of last season (0.0% in games he has played).
The Dallas Cowboys offensive line ranks as the best in the league since the start of last season at run-game blocking.
The Dallas Cowboys have been faced with a stacked the box on a mere 13.3% of their plays since the start of last season, 8th-least in the league. Keeping an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
The Dallas Cowboys have gone no-huddle on 12.6% of their play-calls outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (9th-most in the NFL). This speeds up the pace, leading to more volume and stat production.
Favors Under
The Dallas Cowboys will be forced to use backup QB Cooper Rush in this week's contest, which typically means fewer pass attempts and more rush attempts.
THE BLITZ projects the Cowboys to call the 2nd-least total plays among all teams this week with 61.5 plays, given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
This game will be played in a dome—which means zero wind, higher pass volume, higher TD potential, and better passing effectiveness.

Opposing squads have run for the 5th-least yards in football (just 101 per game) versus the Cincinnati Bengals defense since the start of last season.
