THE BLITZ projects this game to see the 2nd-most plays run on the slate this week at 136.5 plays, accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.The weather report calls for 12-mph wind in this game. High wind usually means reduced pass volume (and higher run volume) and lessened passing efficiency.THE BLITZ projects Patrick Mahomes to notch 4.9 carries in this week's game, on average: the 8th-most of all QBs.THE BLITZ projects Patrick Mahomes to be much more involved in his team's running game this week (20.8% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (3.1% in games he has played).The Kansas City Chiefs have faced a stacked the box on just 9.3% of their plays since the start of last season, least in the NFL. Keeping an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
