Key Factors

Favors Over

The Carolina Panthers boast a new play-caller this season in offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo, and THE BLITZ projects their pass/run mix to lean 6.3% more towards rushing than it did last season (adjusted for context).
THE BLITZ projects the Carolina Panthers as the 2nd-most run-oriented offense among all teams this week with a 52.2% run rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
THE BLITZ projects Chuba Hubbard to be a more integral piece of his team's running game this week (31.6% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (19.0% in games he has played).
The Carolina Panthers offensive line grades out as the 8th-best in the league this year in run blocking.
Chuba Hubbard's rushing effectiveness has gotten better this year, accumulating 4.43 yards-per-carry compared to just 3.44 mark last year.

Favors Under

The Carolina Panthers will be forced to start backup QB Sam Darnold in this game, which usually means fewer pass attempts and more rush attempts.
THE BLITZ projects this game to play at the 11th-most sluggish pace on the slate this week, averaging 26.74 seconds per play accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
The Carolina Panthers have run the 4th-least plays in the NFL this year, totaling a lowly 53.9 plays per game.
The Carolina Panthers have been faced with a stacked the box on 19.7% of their plays since the start of last season, 6th-most in football. Positioning an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have stacked the box versus opponents on 21.0% of their plays since the start of last season, 6th-most in the league. Keeping an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
