Key Factors
Favors Over
The Pittsburgh Steelers have called the 6th-most plays in football this year, totaling a colossal 61.1 plays per game.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have gone no-huddle on 15.2% of their play-calls outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (5th-most in the NFL). This quickens the pace, leading to more volume and stat production.
Favors Under
THE BLITZ projects the Steelers to call the 2nd-least offensive plays among all teams this week with 61.9 plays, accounting for their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.

Najee Harris has been a much smaller piece of his offense's run game this season (59.8% Carry Share in games he has been on the field) than he was last season (78.8%).
The Baltimore Ravens safeties rank as the 8th-best unit in football this year with their run defense.
The Baltimore Ravens have stacked the box against opponents on 18.8% of their plays since the start of last season, 10th-most in the NFL. Bringing an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
