The Steelers will be rolling with backup QB Mason Rudolph this week, which usually means fewer pass attempts and more rushing.At a -3-point disadvantage, the Steelers are underdogs in this game, suggesting more of an emphasis on passing than their usual game plan.When it comes to air yards, Najee Harris ranks in the towering 79th percentile among RBs this year, accumulating a remarkable 1.0 per game. (considering most of their targets come behind the line of scrimmage, this is much more impressive than it appears since most RBs wind up with negative air yards).Najee Harris's possession skills have gotten better this season, with his Adjusted Catch Rate increasing from 77.9% to 81.3%.When it comes to safeties in covering receivers, Cincinnati's safety corps has been very bad this year, grading out as the worst in the NFL.
