The projections expect the Lions to call the 6th-most total plays among all teams this week with 65.8 plays, given their underlying strategic approach and game dynamics.
The 5th-highest number of plays in the NFL have been run by the Detroit Lions this year (a massive 62.8 per game on average).
The Chargers defense has been a well-known pass funnel this year, eliciting opposing QBs to attempt the 3rd-most passes in the league (41.0 per game) this year.
In this game, Amon-Ra St. Brown is expected by the projections to place in the 99th percentile when it comes to wideouts with 10.7 targets.
Amon-Ra St. Brown’s 98.0 adjusted yards per game through the air this year represents a substantial boost in his receiving ability over last year’s 77.0 figure.
Cons
The Lions rank as the 10th-least pass-heavy offense in football (in a neutral context) this year with a 59.9% pass rate.
