The passing games of both teams (in terms of both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the calm weather conditions (0-mph wind) being projected in this game, while rush volume may fall-off.Tutu Atwell's 68.6% Adjusted Completion Rate this year indicates a meaningful boost in his pass-catching ability over last year's 57.9% figure.This year, the anemic Cardinals pass defense has been gouged for a massive 69.2% Adjusted Completion Rate versus opposing wide receivers: the 5th-highest rate in the league.When it comes to linebackers in defending pass-catchers, Arizona's unit has been lousy this year, grading out as the 3rd-worst in the NFL.
