THE BLITZ projects the Dallas Cowboys offense as the 4th-quickest paced team in the league (in a neutral context) at the moment, averaging 26.45 seconds per play.This game will be played in a dome—meaning no wind, higher pass volume, higher TD potential, and better passing effectiveness.THE BLITZ projects Ezekiel Elliott to be a much bigger part of his team's passing game near the goal line this week (10.3% projected Red Zone Target Share) than he has been this year (0.0% in games he has played).Ezekiel Elliott has posted a colossal 2.0 air yards per game since the start of last season: 80th percentile among RBs. (That may not sound like a lot, but most RBs have negative air yards because they are targeted behind the line of scrimmage).The Dallas Cowboys offensive line profiles as the best in the NFL since the start of last season in protecting the QB, which has a strong effect on all passing game stats across the board.
