The Washington Commanders will be forced to utilize backup quarterback Marcus Mariota in this contest, which generally means fewer pass attempts and more rushing.Accounting for their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, our trusted projections expect the Washington Commanders to run on 44.5% of their downs: the 9th-highest rate on the slate this week.The pass attacks of both teams (as it relates to both volume and efficiency) figure to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (read: zero wind) inside this dome, while ground volume may fall-off.As it relates to the safeties' role in defending against the run, Atlanta's group of safeties has been fantastic since the start of last season, profiling as the best in football.
