Accounting for their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Lions to run on 41.9% of their chances: the 11th-lowest rate 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.In this week's contest, Jared Goff is forecasted by our trusted projection set to garner the 2nd-fewest rush attempts out of all QBs with 1.7. Accounting for a lowly 2.3% of his team's rushing play calls this year (3rd percentile among QBs), Jared Goff's immobility makes him no threat in the run game.As it relates to the defensive tackles' role in run defense, Minnesota's DT corps has been exceptional this year, projecting as the 2nd-best in the NFL.
