High wind usually means lower pass volume (and increased run volume) and worse passing effectiveness.The Las Vegas Raiders have gone no-huddle on a measly 4.7% of their play-calls outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (10th-least in football). This deadens the pace, resulting in less volume and stat production.The Las Vegas Raiders have elected to go for it on 4th down a mere 15.7% of the time since the start of last season (7th-least in the NFL), which typically means less offensive volume, less touchdown potential, and lower offensive metrics across the board.
