The model projects the Seahawks to be the 8th-least run-heavy offense on the slate this week with a 39.7% run rate, based on their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics.The Seahawks have run the 3rd-fewest plays in the NFL since the start of last season, totaling a mere 54.9 plays per game.The forecast calls for 4-mph wind in this game. Low wind typically means increased pass volume, and lower run volume, increased touchdown potential, and better passing efficiency.Geno Smith is positioned as one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL at generating extra rushing yardage, averaging a measly 0.36 yards-after-contact this year while ranking in the 21st percentile.The opposing side have run for the 8th-fewest adjusted yards in football (just 102.0 per game) against the Miami Dolphins defense since the start of last season.
