Our trusted projections expect the Patriots to be the 7th-most pass-heavy team in football near the goal line (adjusted for context) at the present time with a 60.0% red zone pass rate.The passing attacks of both teams (as it relates to both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the calm weather conditions (4-mph wind) being forecasted in this game, while run volume may drop.The predictive model expects Stefon Diggs to be much more involved in his offense's pass game near the goal line this week (22.6% projected Red Zone Target Share) than he has been this year (17.2% in games he has played).The New England O-line ranks as the 6th-best in the NFL this year in protecting the quarterback, which has a strong impact on all air attack metrics across the board.Stefon Diggs's sure-handedness have gotten better this year, with his Adjusted Completion Rate rising from 73.7% to 84.1%.
