THE BLITZ projects the Chicago Bears to be the most run-centric offense in football near the end zone (context-neutralized) right now with a 50.1% red zone run rate.THE BLITZ projects Justin Fields to be much more involved in his offense's rushing attack near the goal line this week (23.5% projected Red Zone Carry Share) than he has been this year (18.3% in games he has played).Justin Fields has run for 0.20 TDs per game on the ground this year (on average), one of the largest figures in the NFL among QBs (82nd percentile).The Chicago Bears have been faced with a stacked the box on a mere 14.2% of their plays since the start of last season, 10th-least in the league. Bringing an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.The Chicago Bears have gone for it on 4th down 27.3% of the time since the start of last season (3rd-most in the NFL), which generally means more offensive volume, more TD potential, and higher offensive metrics across the board.
