Calm weather conditions (like the 4-mph wind being projected in this game) generally lead to increased passing effectiveness, higher touchdown potential, higher air attack volume, and reduced run volume.The Steelers defense has been a bit of pass funnel this year, inciting opposing quarterbacks to attempt the 3rd-most passes in the NFL (41.0 per game) this year.The model projects Josh Jacobs to be a more important option in his offense's passing offense near the goal line this week (7.4% projected Red Zone Target Share) than he has been this year (0.0% in games he has played).The Pittsburgh Steelers pass defense has been torched for the 6th-highest Adjusted Completion% in football (88.2%) to RBs this year (88.2%).This year, the strong Steelers run defense has surrendered a measly 0.67 TDs on the ground per game to opposing teams: the 10th-best rate in the league.
