Right now, the 9th-least pass-centric team in the league (58.2% context-neutralized) according to the projections is the Browns.Our trusted projections expect the Browns to call the fewest plays on offense on the slate this week with 61.6 plays, based on their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.Windy weather conditions (like the 15-mph being projected in this game) typically cause decreased passing efficiency, lower pass volume, and increased rush volume.With a weak 4.60 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) (23rd percentile) this year, Jerome Ford has been as one of the top pass-game running backs in the NFL in picking up extra yardage.This year, the tough 49ers defense has surrendered the 8th-least adjusted yards-per-target in football to opposing running backs: a puny 4.6 yards.
