Key Factors
Favors Over
The Denver Broncos will have a new play-caller this season in head coach Nathaniel Hackett, and THE BLITZ projects their pass/run mix to lean 4.1% more towards passing than it did last season (in a neutral context).
THE BLITZ projects the Denver Broncos as the 5th-most pass-oriented team in the league near the end zone (context-neutralized) at the moment with a 61.8% red zone pass rate.
THE BLITZ projects the Broncos to run the 7th-most plays on offense among all teams this week with 67.4 plays, accounting for their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
