Based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics, our trusted projections expect the Kansas City Chiefs to run on 40.6% of their downs: the 10th-lowest frequency on the slate this week.The predictive model expects this game to chug along at the 13th-slowest pace out of all the games this week, averaging 26.89 seconds per play accounting for the play styles of each team and game dynamics.The passing games of both teams (as it relates to both volume and effectiveness) figure to benefit from the calm weather conditions (3-mph wind) being called for in this game, while rush volume may decline.After comprising 60.4% of his team's rushing play calls last season, Kareem Hunt has played a smaller part in the ground game this season, currently making up only 43.6%.The Los Angeles Chargers defensive tackles rank as the 2nd-best unit in the NFL this year when it comes to stopping the run.
