The Chargers have a new play-caller this season in offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, and our trusted projections expect their pass/run mix to lean 1.7% more towards rushing than it did last season (context-neutralized).With a 3-point advantage, the Chargers are favored this week, implying more of a focus on running than their standard game plan.Our trusted projections expect Justin Herbert to total 4.0 carries in this week's contest, on balance: the 10th-most out of all quarterbacks.After taking on 9.7% of his offense's rushing play calls last season, Justin Herbert has had a larger role in the run game this season, currently making up 15.1%.Justin Herbert's 21.0 adjusted yards per game on the ground this season reflects a substantial boost in his running skills over last season's 8.0 rate.
