With a 7.5-point advantage, the Lions are a massive favorite this week, indicating much more of a focus on running than their usual approach.With a 52.2% rate of running the ball in the red zone (in a neutral context) this year, the 5th-most run-centric offense in the league in this regard has been the Lions.Jameson Williams, who has received 1.5% of his team's rush attempts near the end zone this year (91st percentile), finds himself in the unique position (for a wideout) of being involved in the Detroit red zone running game.When talking about protecting the passer (and the importance it has on all passing game stats), the offensive line of the Lions profiles as the 10th-worst in football this year.When it comes to cornerbacks in covering pass-catchers, Pittsburgh's CB corps has been excellent this year, profiling as the 2nd-best in football.
