The Chargers may throw the ball less this week (and call more rushes) because they be rolling out backup quarterback Trey Lance.At a -15.5-point disadvantage, the Chargers are heavy underdogs in this week's contest, indicating much more of a focus on moving the ball through the air than their typical game plan.The model projects the Chargers as the 3rd-least run-focused team on the slate this week with a 38.2% run rate, accounting for their underlying play style and matchup dynamics.With a very bad record of 3.1 adjusted yards per carry (YPC) (25th percentile), Trey Lance rates among the bottom running QBs in the league since the start of last season.Opposing offenses have rushed for the 2nd-fewest adjusted yards in the NFL (just 89.0 per game) against the Denver Broncos defense this year.
