THE BLITZ projects Darrell Henderson to be a much smaller part of his team's rushing attack near the goal line this week (27.3% projected Red Zone Carry Share) than he has been since the start of last season (53.3% in games he has played).The Buffalo Bills linebackers rank as the 6th-best unit in football since the start of last season with their run defense.The Buffalo Bills have stacked the box against opponents on 19.5% of their plays since the start of last season, 9th-most in the league. Positioning an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.The Los Angeles Rams have risked going for it on 4th down a lowly 14.7% of the time since the start of last season (4th-least in the NFL), which usually means less offensive volume, less touchdown potential, and lower offensive statistics across the board.
