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.

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.
