Detroit's lead keeps the ball on the ground. Goff averages 34 pass attempts per game over his 3-year baseline, but as the favored team in a 50-point total, Detroit will lean on Jahmyr Gibbs and the run game to milk clock and protect a lead—a script that naturally suppresses pass attempts. New Orleans' pass defense also clamps down on receivers, removing the incentive to air it out. Goff stays under 34 attempts in a game built for Detroit to control tempo.
