With a 3.5-point advantage, the Vikings are favored in this week's game, indicating more of an emphasis on running than their normal game plan.With a 51.0% rate of throwing the ball (adjusted for context) this year, the 4th-least pass-oriented team in the NFL has been the Vikings.The 9th-smallest volume of plays in the NFL have been called by the Minnesota Vikings since the start of last season (a measly 56.0 per game on average).With a poor 0.00 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) (1st percentile) since the start of last season, Jordan Mason ranks as one of the best pass-game RBs in football in the open field.Since the start of last season, the formidable Falcons defense has surrendered the 4th-least adjusted yards-per-target in the NFL to opposing running backs: a puny 5.3 yards.
