The Cowboys have played in the 9th-most "low wind" (4-mph or less) games in the NFL since the start of last season, which should mean reduced pass volume, increased running volume, and reduced passing attack effectiveness when facing windier conditions in this game.Opposing QBs teams have been afraid to pass too much against the Chicago Bears, averaging the 5th-fewest attempts in the league (a lowly 29.8 per game) since the start of last season.The model projects George Pickens to be a less important option in his team's passing game in this week's contest (18.0% projected Target Share) than he has been since the start of last season (24.3% in games he has played).In regards to pass protection (and the effect it has on all pass attack statistics), the O-line of the Cowboys ranks as the 7th-worst in the NFL since the start of last season.With a subpar 2.60 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) (21st percentile) since the start of last season, George Pickens has been as one of the best pass-catching WRs in the league in picking up extra yardage.
