Andy Reid will run, run and run some more.

I doubt it. We threw 39 times vs 24 runs last game and we had a two score lead the entire game. So that is 62% of the time. That pretty much aligns with our season average. We are 7th in the NFL in pass play percentage. We would probably pass more if we werent so good and leading games so often.
Also the Niners play alot of zone. Our two best offensive weapons are better at zone than man in Kelce and Rice. I would want to run more if we were playing a team that plays more man so we don't have to rely on Watson and MVS as much. Luckily we should be able to gash them in the run and with Rice and Kelce.
