The Jaguars may rely on the pass game less this week (and call more carries) because they be forced to use backup quarterback Mac Jones.The predictive model expects the Jaguars to be the 11th-least run-heavy team among all teams this week with a 40.2% run rate, based on their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics.This game will be played in a dome—which means no wind, higher pass volume, higher touchdown potential, and increased passing efficiency.Travis Etienne has been a less important option in his offense's rushing attack this season (43.0% Carry Share in games he has played) than he was last season (63.7%).When it comes to the defensive ends' role in run defense, Las Vegas's group of DEs has been phenomenal this year, profiling as the 3rd-best in the league.
