- Pat Freiermuth has accrued quite a few more air yards this season (59.0 per game) than he did last season (27.0 per game).
Cons
- THE BLITZ projects the Pittsburgh Steelers to be the 9th-least pass-oriented offense on the slate this week with a 56.1% pass rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- THE BLITZ projects this game to have the lowest volume of plays run out of all the games this week at 123.1 plays, accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
- Pat Freiermuth’s receiving reliability have diminished this year, with his Completion% decreasing from 80.1% to 68.6%.
- The Baltimore Ravens defensive ends rank as the 9th-best collection of DEs in football this year with their pass rush.
- The Pittsburgh Steelers O-line has allowed their quarterback a measly 2.19 seconds before the pass (worst in the NFL since the start of last season), which has a harmful effect on all air attack stats across the board.
