Given their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Bears to pass on 47.5% of their chances: the lowest frequency among all teams this week.Accounting for the game dynamics and the underlying play styles of each team, this game is expected by the projections to have just 123.9 total plays run: the fewest among all games this week.The weather report calls for 15-mph wind in this game. High wind generally means reduced pass volume (and higher run volume) and worse passing effectiveness.In this week's contest, Justin Fields is expected by the predictive model to wind up with the 4th-fewest pass attempts among all quarterbacks with 26.5. The Chicago Bears offensive line grades out as the 9th-worst in the league this year in protecting the passer, which has a negative impact on all passing game metrics across the board.
