Given their underlying strategic approach and game dynamics, the Los Angeles Chargers are predicted by the model to call just 63.0 total plays in this game: the 7th-fewest on the slate this week.Opposing quarterbacks teams have been reluctant to test the pass defense of the Chiefs, totaling the 8th-fewest attempts in football (a measly 31.5 per game) this year.The Los Angeles O-line grades out as the 4th-worst in the league this year in protecting the quarterback, which has a harmful impact on all passing offense metrics across the board.This year, the stout Kansas City Chiefs defense has allowed a mere 1.08 passing TDs per game to opposing quarterbacks: the 5th-lowest rate in football.As it relates to cornerbacks in defending pass-catchers, Kansas City's collection of CBs has been one of the most skilled this year, projecting as the best in the NFL.
