The Bears are a giant 8.5-point underdog in this week's contest, likely leading to an extreme passing game script.THE BLITZ projects the Bears to call the least plays on offense on the slate this week with 61.4 plays, given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.The Chicago Bears have called the least plays in the league this year, averaging a lowly 52.0 plays per game.THE BLITZ projects Khalil Herbert to be a less important option in his team's running game near the end zone this week (26.5% projected Red Zone Carry Share) than he has been this year (53.6% in games he has played).Opposing teams have rushed for the 2nd-least TDs in the NFL (0.33 per game) vs. the New England Patriots defense this year.
