The Chargers feature a new play-caller this year in offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, and the predictive model expects their pass/run mix to lean 1.8% more towards rushing than it did last year (in a neutral context).Given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics, the Los Angeles Chargers are projected by the predictive model to run 66.9 offensive plays in this contest: the 2nd-most among all teams this week.The model projects Justin Herbert to accrue 4.6 carries in this week's game, on average: the 7th-most out of all quarterbacks.After taking on 9.7% of his offense's rush attempts last season, Justin Herbert has played a bigger part in the running game this season, currently taking on 16.0%.The Chiefs safeties grade out as the 28th-worst group of safeties in the NFL this year in regard to defending the run.
