Calm weather conditions (like the 4-mph wind being called for in this game) usually correlate with better passing effectiveness, higher TD potential, higher pass volume, and reduced run volume.In regards to pass protection (and the strong effect it has on all passing offense metrics), the O-line of the Philadelphia Eagles ranks as the 10th-best in the NFL this year.Jahan Dotson's 3.83 yards-after-the-catch (YAC) this season indicates a meaningful growth in his effectiveness in space over last season's 2.2% figure.This year, the deficient Pittsburgh Steelers defense has been gouged for the 6th-most adjusted yards-per-target in the league to opposing wide receivers: a massive 8.67 yards.This year, the feeble Steelers defense has been gouged for the 8th-most yards-after-the-catch in the league to opposing WRs: a massive 4.40 YAC.
