The projections expect the Dallas Cowboys as the 8th-least run-focused team among all teams this week with a 39.1% run rate, accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.The pass attacks of both teams (including both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (i.e. no wind) inside this dome, while run volume may suffer.This year, the daunting Detroit Lions run defense has given up a measly 91.0 adjusted rushing yards per game to the opposing side: the 4th-fewest in the league.As it relates to the safeties' role in stopping the run, Detroit's unit has been exceptional this year, ranking as the 5th-best in the NFL.
