THE BLITZ projects this game to see the 4th-highest volume of plays run on the slate this week at 133.4 plays, based on the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.

Favors Under
Latavius Murray has accumulated a paltry -4.0 air yards per game this year: a lowly 8th percentile among RBs.
Latavius Murray has notched quite a few less receiving yards per game (1.0) this year than he did last year (6.0).
The Kansas City Chiefs linebackers project as the 10th-best LB corps in the NFL this year in covering pass-catchers.
The Kansas City Chiefs pass rush has gotten pressure on opposing QBs a mere 2.31 seconds after the snap (on average), ranking as the best in the NFL since the start of last season.
The Kansas City Chiefs have stacked the box against opponents on just 11.8% of their plays since the start of last season, 5th-least in football. Choosing not to bring an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves pass defense at the expense of run-stopping.
