At a -3.5-point disadvantage, the Patriots are underdogs in this game, implying more of a reliance on throwing than their usual approach.The predictive model expects the Patriots as the 11th-least run-focused team among all teams this week with a 41.1% run rate, given their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics.The leading projections forecast the Patriots to run the 5th-fewest total plays on the slate this week with 62.7 plays, given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.Rhamondre Stevenson has been much less involved in his team's ground game this year (37.2% Carry Share in games he has been on the field) than he was last year (57.5%).As it relates to the safeties' role in defending against the run, Baltimore's safety corps has been very good this year, ranking as the 6th-best in football.
