The projections expect the Chargers to be the 3rd-least run-centric offense among all teams this week with a 36.8% run rate, given their underlying traits and matchup dynamics.The forecast calls for 1-mph wind in this game. Low wind generally means higher pass volume, and reduced ground volume, higher TD potential, and increased passing effectiveness.The model projects Joshua Kelley to be a much smaller part of his offense's rushing attack this week (23.7% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (38.5% in games he has played).The Chargers offensive line grades out as the 7th-worst in football last year at blocking for rushers.This year, the formidable Detroit Lions run defense has given up a measly 74.0 adjusted yards per game on the ground to the opposing side: the 2nd-fewest in football.
