The predictive model expects the Kansas City Chiefs as the 8th-least run-oriented team on the slate this week with a 39.2% run rate, based on their underlying play style and matchup dynamics.The pass games of both teams (as it relates to both volume and effectiveness) ought to benefit from the calm weather conditions (4-mph wind) being projected in this game, while run volume may slide.After making up 15.6% of his offense's rush attempts last season, Patrick Mahomes has been less involved in the running game this season, currently taking on only 9.3%.Patrick Mahomes's 19.0 adjusted yards per game on the ground this year shows a noteable decrease in his running ability over last year's 24.0 figure.The Houston Texans defense owns the 6th-best efficiency against opposing running games this year, giving up just 4.13 adjusted yards-per-carry (YPC).
