An extreme passing game script is implied by the Steelers being a heavy -7.5-point underdog this week.Given their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics, the leading projections forecast the Steelers to run on 34.7% of their plays: the 2nd-lowest frequency among all teams this week.The Pittsburgh Steelers have called the 2nd-fewest plays in the league this year, averaging just 51.3 plays per game.The passing games of both teams (as it relates to both volume and efficiency) figure to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (as in zero wind) inside this dome, while run volume may decline.As it relates to the linebackers' role in defending against the run, Detroit's collection of LBs has been phenomenal this year, ranking as the 4th-best in football.
