The pass games of both teams (including both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the calm "weather" conditions (read: zero wind) inside this dome, while ground volume may fall-off.The Cowboys defense has been a glaring pass funnel this year, leading opposing offenses to attempt the 7th-most passes in the NFL (37.4 per game) this year.With a top-tier 17.9% Red Zone Target Rate (96th percentile) this year, Saquon Barkley places among the pass-catching running backs with the highest volume near the goal line in football.When talking about air yards, Saquon Barkley ranks in the lofty 78th percentile among RBs this year, totaling a whopping 1.0 per game. (because they are often targeted behind the line of scrimmage, this is far more notable than it appears since most RBs wind up with negative air yards).Saquon Barkley's 19.8 WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced metric that measures high-value offensive usage) ranks him among the best in the NFL: 92nd percentile for running backs.
