Accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Bengals to run on 35.6% of their plays: the lowest rate on the slate this week.In this contest, Joe Burrow is projected by the projection model to accrue the 11th-fewest rush attempts out of all quarterbacks with 2.8. This year, the imposing Pittsburgh Steelers run defense has conceded a mere 91.0 adjusted rushing yards per game to the opposing side: the 4th-fewest in the NFL.When it comes to the safeties' role in run defense, Pittsburgh's collection of safeties has been fantastic this year, profiling as the 3rd-best in the NFL.
