Accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Patriots to run on 46.2% of their plays: the 6th-greatest rate on the slate this week.While Jacoby Brissett has been responsible for 5.3% of his team's run game usage in games he has played since the start of last season, the leading projections forecast him to be a more integral piece of New England's running game in this week's game at 14.1%.Since the start of last season, the anemic Seattle Seahawks run defense has conceded a whopping 139.0 adjusted rushing yards per game to opposing squads: the 2nd-worst in football.
