The Dolphins will be rolling with backup quarterback Skylar Thompson in this week's game, which generally means fewer pass attempts and more rushes.The 8th-smallest volume of plays in football have been called by the Miami Dolphins since the start of last season (just 56.5 per game on average).Miami's passing stats since the start of last season may be artificially deflated (and rushing stats inflated) in light of playing the most "bad weather" (rain, snow, or 15+ mph wind) games in the NFL. We should be able to count on some correction with improved conditions in this week's contest.Calm weather conditions (like the 4-mph wind being forecasted in this game) usually lead to better passing efficiency, increased touchdown potential, increased air volume, and reduced ground volume.The Seattle Seahawks defensive ends grade out as the best DE corps in the NFL since the start of last season in regard to run defense.
