The Vikings have played in the 6th-most "low wind" (4-mph or less) games in the NFL since the start of last season, which ought to result in lower pass volume, increased running volume, and reduced offense efficiency when facing windier conditions in this week's game.The weatherman calls for 13-mph wind in this game. High wind generally means reduced pass volume (and increased run volume) and decreased passing efficiency.While Sam Darnold has garnered 6.8% of his offense's rush attempts in games he has played this year, the leading projections forecast him to be a much bigger part of Minnesota's run game this week at 12.5%.The Green Bay Packers linebackers grade out as the 2nd-worst unit in the NFL since the start of last season when it comes to defending the run.
