The Carolina Panthers have a new play-caller this year in offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, and the leading projections forecast their pass/run mix to skew 6.2% more towards passing than it did last year (context-neutralized).Based on the game dynamics and the underlying play styles of each team, this contest is forecasted by the projection model to have 133.0 total plays run: the highest number among all games this week.The Panthers have called the 4th-most plays in football this year, averaging a monstrous 63.4 plays per game.The passing games of both teams (in terms of both volume and efficiency) ought to benefit from the still weather conditions (3-mph wind) being called for in this game, while rush volume may go down.D.J. Chark has been responsible for a staggering 28.7% of his team's air yards this year: 82nd percentile when it comes to wideouts.
