THE BLITZ projects the Ravens to call the least offensive plays among all teams this week with 61.5 plays, given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.THE BLITZ projects Gus Edwards to be much less involved in his offense's running game near the end zone this week (23.7% projected Red Zone Carry Share) than he has been this year (35.7% in games he has played).Opposing squads have rushed for the 3rd-least TDs in football (0.50 per game) vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers defense this year.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 NFL. Bringing an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
