With a 3-point advantage, the Steelers are favored in this week's contest, indicating more of a focus on running than their usual approach.Accounting for their underlying tendencies and game dynamics, the Steelers are predicted by our trusted projection set to call 65.9 plays on offense in this game: the 5th-most on the slate this week.After comprising 16.3% of his team's rush attempts last year, Jaylen Warren has played a bigger part in the rushing attack this year, now comprising 29.3%.When it comes to blocking for ball-carriers (and the effect it has on all run game stats), the offensive line of the Steelers ranks as the 10th-best in the league last year.The Green Bay defensive ends project as the 8th-worst group of DEs in the NFL this year when it comes to stopping the run.
