Accounting for their underlying traits and game dynamics, the Detroit Lions are projected by the projections to run 67.1 total plays in this contest: the 4th-highest number among all teams this week.This game will be played in a dome—meaning zero wind, increased pass volume, increased TD potential, and increased passing effectiveness.Opposing quarterbacks have averaged 37.9 pass attempts per game vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers defense this year: 5th-most in the NFL.When it comes to air yards, David Montgomery ranks in the towering 81st percentile among RBs this year, totaling a staggering 1.0 per game. (considering most of their targets come behind the line of scrimmage, this is far more remarkable than it sounds since most RBs have negative air yards).This year, the porous Steelers pass defense has surrendered a staggering 87.9% Adjusted Completion Rate versus opposing RBs: the 3rd-biggest rate in the league.
