The Minnesota Vikings boast a new play-caller this year in head coach Kevin O'Connell, and THE BLITZ projects their pass/run mix to skew 4.1% more towards passing than it did last year (context-neutralized).THE BLITZ projects the Minnesota Vikings as the 11th-least run-centric offense among all teams this week with a 38.5% run rate, based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.This game will be played in a dome—meaning zero wind, higher pass volume, higher touchdown potential, and better passing efficiency.THE BLITZ projects Kirk Cousins to total 1.8 rush attempts this week, on average: the 2nd-least of all quarterbacks.The Minnesota Vikings have faced a stacked the box on 20.3% of their plays since the start of last season, 5th-most in football. Keeping an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
