The predictive model expects the Detroit Lions offense to be the 3rd-most sluggish paced team in the league (adjusted for context) at the moment, averaging 29.72 seconds per play.This game will be played in a dome—meaning no wind, higher pass volume, higher TD potential, and better passing effectiveness.This week, Jared Goff is predicted by the model to total the 11th-fewest carries among all quarterbacks with 1.8. Comprising a mere 2.9% of his team's run game usage this year (13th percentile when it comes to quarterbacks), Jared Goff's immobility makes him no threat with his legs.As it relates to the linebackers' role in defending against the run, Jacksonville's LB corps has been exceptional this year, grading out as the 8th-best in the NFL.
