- THE BLITZ projects this game to have the 2nd-largest volume of plays run out of all the games this week at 136.5 plays, given the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
- THE BLITZ projects Patrick Mahomes to attempt 42.4 passes in this contest, on average: the 2nd-most of all quarterbacks.
- The Kansas City Chiefs O-line profiles as the 10th-best in the NFL this year in protecting the QB, which has a strong effect on all passing attack statistics across the board.
