The leading projections forecast the Commanders offensive approach to lean 12.6% more towards the passing game than it did last season (context-neutralized) with offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy now calling the plays.The predictive model expects the Commanders as the most pass-heavy offense on the slate this week with a 64.6% pass rate, accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.This game will be played in a dome—which means no wind, higher pass volume, higher TD potential, and better passing efficiency.When talking about pass protection (and the positive impact it has on all passing attack statistics), the offensive line of the Washington Commanders ranks as the 7th-best in the NFL this year.The Falcons pass defense has been particularly weak when opposing wide receivers have gotten into space, allowing an average of 5.44 yards-after-the-catch this year: the 8th-most in the league.
