Based on their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the Minnesota Vikings to pass on 56.1% of their plays: the 11th-lowest rate among all teams this week.The Minnesota Vikings have played in the 3rd-most "low wind" (4-mph or less) games in the NFL since the start of last season, which should result in reduced pass volume, increased running volume, and reduced passing attack results when facing windier conditions in this game.The Vikings are willing to include receivers in their ground game, and Jordan Addison has earned 1.8% of red zone carries last year (0th among wideouts).Jordan Addison has rushed for 0.07 TDs per game on the ground last year (on average), one of the biggest marks in the league when it comes to WRs and TEs (94th percentile).Since the start of last season, the strong Steelers defense has allowed a meager 0.85 TDs through the air per game to opposing wideouts: the 3rd-lowest rate in football.
