THE BLITZ projects this game to see the 3rd-largest volume of plays run out of all the games this week at 136.2 plays, accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.The Los Angeles Chargers have run the 3rd-most plays in the NFL this year, averaging a colossal 62.6 plays per game.THE BLITZ projects Justin Herbert to be a more integral piece of his team's run game this week (11.5% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (2.2% in games he has played).The Kansas City Chiefs defensive ends project as the 5th-worst DE corps in the league this year when it comes to run defense.The Kansas City Chiefs have stacked the box vs. opponents on just 11.8% of their plays since the start of last season, 7th-least in the NFL. Choosing not to keep an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves pass defense at the expense of run-stopping.
