Cons
- The predictive model expects the Pittsburgh Steelers to be the 3rd-least pass-oriented offense among all teams this week with a 54.3% pass rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- Accounting for their underlying strategic approach and game dynamics, the Steelers are anticipated by our trusted projection set to call just 63.0 offensive plays in this contest: the 3rd-fewest among all teams this week.
- The lowest number of plays in the league have been run by the Pittsburgh Steelers this year (just 55.8 per game on average).
