Given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics, the projections expect the Rams to run on 39.5% of their plays: the 5th-lowest rate among all teams this week.The passing attacks of both teams (as it relates to both volume and efficiency) stand to benefit from the calm weather conditions (1-mph wind) being projected in this game, while ground volume may suffer.In this week's contest, Matthew Stafford is projected by the model to total the 8th-fewest rush attempts among all QBs with 1.8. Taking on just 3.9% of his offense's rushing play calls last year (16th percentile among quarterbacks), Matthew Stafford's immobility makes him no threat in Los Angeles's rushing attack.With a lousy rate of 3.0 adjusted rushing yards per game (10th percentile), Matthew Stafford rates as one of the worst running quarterbacks in the NFL last year.
