Accounting for their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Pittsburgh Steelers to pass on 60.4% of their opportunities: the 8th-greatest frequency among all teams this week.The pass games of both teams (as it relates to both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the still weather conditions (4-mph wind) being projected in this game, while rush volume may slide.Opposing QBs have averaged 42.5 pass attempts per game versus the Green Bay Packers defense this year: most in the league.Kenneth Gainwell has been heavily involved in his team's pass game near the goal line, garnering a Red Zone Target Share of 12.0% this year, which ranks him in the 85th percentile among running backs.Kenneth Gainwell's 19.5 WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced statistic that assesses high-value offensive involvement) has been substantially better this year than it was last year at 7.4.
