Taylor has rushed for a league-high 603 yards on 5.2 yards per pop and he's fresh off a 123-yard performance against Arizona. This is a lofty rushing yards total but the two-time Pro Bowler has rushed for more than 95 yards in eight of his last 11 games. The Chargers are sixth in the league in defensive dropback EPA but just 22nd in defensive rush EPA. That poor run defense has been exposed in the last four weeks with the Bolts surrendering 144.8 rushing yards per game on 5.2 yards per rush attempt.

The No. 1 scoring offense in the league hits the road this week, but the indoor setting should benefit Daniel Jones and the Colts. Backing this offense has been a smooth ride—they’ve scored 33, 29, 41, 20, 40, and 31 points over the last six games, and scoring in the red zone at a crazy 92.3% clip over the last three games.  Josh Downs played only 50% of the snaps last week, but he was on the field for every 3-WR set and led all Colts receivers in targets (7) and receptions (6). Most importantly, he saw three red-zone targets—more than any other wide receiver in Week 6. He closed at +310 to score and is +260 this week. That’s strong value in a high-total, indoor matchup with a receiver clearly getting quality looks.

Los Angeles has allowed its last four foes to average almost 145 rushing yards, including 137 gains on the ground from the Dolphins in a lucky 29-27 win at Miami in Week 6. Despite three turnovers from the Fins, the Bolts still needed a wild sack-shedding 42-yard catch-and-run to set up the game-winning field goal in the dying seconds. Given that porous Chargers’ run stop, Indy’s playbook will feature a lot of Jonathan Taylor grinding behind an offensive line ranked No. 4 in run block win rate. The Colts can control possession and pace and park L.A. QB Justin Herbert on the sideline. Given limited touches, an already one-dimensional Los Angeles offense (missing its top two RBs and passing at a 65% rate the last three games) is easier to scheme for.

The weather report calls for 0-mph wind in this game. Low wind usually means higher pass volume, and reduced rush volume, higher touchdown potential, and better passing efficiency.. When talking about protecting the passer (and the positive impact it has on all pass game metrics), the O-line of the Indianapolis Colts ranks as the 4th-best in football this year.. Daniel Jones's 69.7% Adjusted Completion% this season signifies a noteable growth in his passing precision over last season's 63.4% rate.. Daniel Jones's 7.85 adjusted yards-per-target this year signifies a remarkable gain in his passing effectiveness over last year's 6.1% figure.

Our trusted projections expect the Indianapolis Colts to be the 10th-least pass-focused offense in the NFL (adjusted for context) at the present time with a 59.6% pass rate.. Accounting for the game dynamics and the underlying play styles of each team, this game is predicted by the model to see only 127.2 plays on offense called: the 5th-fewest out of all the games this week.. The Chargers defense has yielded the 3rd-fewest adjusted receiving yards per game in the league (just 32.0) vs. TEs this year.. This year, the fierce Chargers defense has given up the 4th-least adjusted yards-per-target in football to opposing tight ends: a paltry 6.0 yards.. As it relates to safeties in defending receivers, Los Angeles's collection of safeties has been exceptional this year, ranking as the 6th-best in the NFL.

The leading projections forecast the Colts to be the 10th-most run-centric offense in football (context-neutralized) right now with a 40.4% run rate.. In this contest, Daniel Jones is anticipated by the predictive model to garner the 7th-most rush attempts out of all quarterbacks with 5.4. . While Daniel Jones has been responsible for 13.5% of his offense's rushing play calls in games he has played this year, the projections expect him to be much more involved in Indianapolis's run game in this game at 19.8%.. The Los Angeles Chargers defense owns the 8th-worst efficiency against opposing run games this year, surrendering 4.90 adjusted yards-per-carry.
