Their aerial attack averages 239.2 passing yards with an efficiency rating of 69.8 percent, complementing this with an average of 128.6 rushing yards over 27.8 attempts. This combination of passing and rushing allows them to maintain a balanced offense that can exploit the weaknesses of their opponent.
