The Patriots boast a new play-caller this year in offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, and the model projects their pass/run mix to skew 3.9% more towards passing than it did last year (context-neutralized).At the present time, the 6th-most pass-oriented offense in football in the red zone (60.1% in a neutral context) according to our trusted projection set is the New England Patriots.Calm weather conditions (like the 4-mph wind being predicted in this game) usually correlate with better passing efficiency, higher TD potential, higher pass volume, and lower run volume.The projections expect Rhamondre Stevenson to be a much smaller part of his offense's running game near the end zone in this contest (47.1% projected Red Zone Carry Share) than he has been since the start of last season (63.8% in games he has played).With an extraordinary 15.1% Red Zone Target Rate (96th percentile) since the start of last season, Rhamondre Stevenson stands among the RB receiving threats with the most usage near the goal line in football.
