THE BLITZ projects the Cincinnati Bengals as the most pass-oriented team on the slate this week with a 67.0% pass rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.The Cincinnati Bengals have called the 9th-most plays in football this year, averaging a whopping 59.9 plays per game.The weather forecast calls for 4-mph wind in this game. Low wind generally means higher pass volume, higher touchdown potential, and better passing effectiveness.Tyler Boyd has been a less important option in his team's offense this year, playing on just 61.9% of snaps compared to 76.1% last year.The Buffalo Bills have stacked the box versus opponents on 19.5% of their plays since the start of last season, 9th-most in football. Keeping an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
