The Jaguars rank as the 7th-most run-heavy team in football near the end zone (context-neutralized) this year with a 53.0% red zone run rate.THE BLITZ projects the Jacksonville Jaguars to be the 4th-fastest paced defense in the league (adjusted for context) at the present time, leading opposing offenses to average 27.41 seconds per play.THE BLITZ projects Travis Etienne to be much more involved in his team's run game near the goal line this week (78.1% projected Red Zone Carry Share) than he has been this year (36.2% in games he has played).The Las Vegas Raiders safeties rank as the 31st-worst collection of safeties in football this year when it comes to stopping the run.The Jacksonville Jaguars have faced a stacked the box on a measly 11.1% of their plays since the start of last season, 3rd-least in the league.
