Windy weather conditions (like the 17-mph being forecasted in this game) generally mean lessened passing efficiency, lower air attack volume, and increased rush volume.As it relates to pass protection (and the significance it has on all pass game metrics), the O-line of the Browns ranks as the 10th-worst in the NFL this year.Jerome Ford has been one of the least effective pass-catchers in the NFL among running backs, averaging just 4.46 adjusted yards-per-target this year while grading out in the 16th percentile.This year, the strong Chiefs defense has allowed a measly 20.0 adjusted receiving yards per game versus opposing running backs: the fewest in the NFL.This year, the daunting Kansas City Chiefs defense has conceded the least adjusted yards-per-target in the league to opposing RBs: a mere 4.7 yards.
