The Eagles will be forced to start backup quarterback Tanner McKee in this week's contest, which typically means fewer pass attempts and more rush attempts.Given the game dynamics and the underlying approaches of each team, this contest is forecasted by our trusted projection set to see only 127.6 total plays run: the 3rd-lowest number out of all the games this week.The San Francisco 49ers defense has been a well-known pass funnel this year, compelling opposing teams to attempt the 8th-most passes in the league (34.1 per game) this year.The predictive model expects Tank Bigsby to be a much smaller part of his offense's ground game near the end zone this week (8.0% projected Red Zone Carry Share) than he has been this year (19.3% in games he has played).When talking about protecting the passer (and the positive effect it has on all passing game stats), the O-line of the Eagles grades out as the 5th-best in the NFL this year.
