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.Given their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Los Angeles Chargers to pass on 61.8% of their chances: the 3rd-highest clip on the slate this week.With a 59.4% rate of throwing the ball near the end zone (in a neutral context) this year, the 7th-most pass-oriented team in the league in this regard has been the Chargers.Given the game dynamics and the underlying approaches of each team, this contest is expected by the model to have 131.3 plays on offense run: the 5th-highest number among all games this week.
