- The model projects the Commanders as the most pass-centric team among all teams this week with a 67.9% pass rate, accounting for their underlying play style and matchup dynamics.
- In this contest, Sam Howell is expected by the projections to wind up with the 3rd-most pass attempts out of all QBs with 38.3.
- The San Francisco 49ers defense has been something of pass funnel this year, causing opposing offenses to attempt the 5th-most passes in the league (39.0 per game) this year.
Cons
- The predictive model expects this game to see the fewest plays run among all games this week at 125.3 plays, based on the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
- This year, the fierce 49ers defense has given up the 4th-least adjusted yards-per-target in the NFL to opposing offenses: a measly 6.9 yards.
- The 49ers defense has been quite strong when opposing pass-catchers have gotten into space, surrendering an average of 4.25 yards-after-the-catch this year: the 7th-fewest in football.
- As it relates to linebackers in pass coverage, San Francisco’s LB corps has been phenomenal this year, profiling as the 2nd-best in the NFL.
