The Steelers may pass less this week (and call more rushes) as a result of being be forced to utilize backup quarterback Mason Rudolph.The predictive model expects the Steelers to call the 8th-most offensive plays on the slate this week with 65.1 plays, based on their underlying play style and game dynamics.This year, the feeble Bears defense has been gouged for a monstrous 63.0 adjusted receiving yards per game vs. opposing tight ends: the 7th-most in football.The Chicago Bears pass defense has yielded the 2nd-highest Adjusted Completion% in the league (86.3%) versus tight ends this year (86.3%).As it relates to linebackers getting after the quarterback, Chicago's collection of LBs has been terrible this year, grading out as the 3rd-worst in the NFL.
