Pros
- THE BLITZ projects this game to see the 5th-most plays run out of all the games this week at 134.2 plays, based on the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
- The New York Jets have run the 8th-most plays in football this year, averaging a colossal 59.8 plays per game.
- Opposing offenses have run for the 7th-most yards in football (139 per game) versus the Detroit Lions defense this year.
- The Detroit Lions defensive tackles profile as the 7th-worst group of DTs in the league this year in regard to stopping the run.
- The New York Jets have gone up against a stacked the box on just 13.6% of their plays since the start of last season, 9th-least in the NFL. Bringing an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
Cons
- The New York Jets O-line grades out as the 10th-worst in the league this year at blocking for rushers.
