The Washington Commanders have run the 7th-most plays in football this year, averaging a colossal 64.0 plays per game.
THE BLITZ projects Brian Robinson to total 13.8 carries this week, on average, putting him in the 78th percentile among RBs.
Opposing squads have rushed for the 2nd-most yards in football (179 per game) versus the Chicago Bears defense this year.
The Chicago Bears defensive ends grade out as the 2nd-worst DE corps in the NFL this year when it comes to run defense.
The Washington Commanders have been faced with a stacked the box on just 12.2% of their plays since the start of last season, 6th-least in football. Keeping an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
