The Dallas Cowboys feature a new play-caller this season in offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, and the predictive model expects their pass/run mix to lean 7.2% more towards passing than it did last season (adjusted for context).The predictive model expects the Dallas Cowboys to be the 3rd-least run-focused team among all teams this week with a 37.9% run rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.This game will be played in a dome—which means zero wind, increased pass volume, increased TD potential, and better passing effectiveness.This year, the strong Eagles run defense has given up a mere 88.0 adjusted yards per game on the ground to opposing offenses: the 3rd-best in football.When it comes to the safeties' role in run defense, Philadelphia's unit has been great this year, grading out as the 3rd-best in the NFL.
