Given their underlying play style and game dynamics, the Lions are expected by the model to run 66.4 offensive plays in this contest: the 6th-highest number on the slate this week.The passing attacks of both teams (including both volume and effectiveness) ought to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (read: zero wind) inside this dome, while ground volume may slide.The projections expect Jahmyr Gibbs to be a more integral piece of his offense's passing attack near the goal line in this week's game (22.8% projected Red Zone Target Share) than he has been this year (15.5% in games he has played).Jahmyr Gibbs has compiled a massive 2.0 air yards per game this year: 90th percentile when it comes to running backs. (That may not seem too impressive, but most RBs have negative air yards because they are often targeted behind the line of scrimmage).Jahmyr Gibbs's 28.3 WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced metric that measures high-value offensive usage) has been significantly better this year than it was last year at 18.2.
