The Steelers are a 4.5-point underdog this week, likely leading to a passing game script.Accounting for their underlying traits and game dynamics, the Steelers are forecasted by the projection model to run 67.2 total plays in this game: the 2nd-most among all teams this week.Opposing offenses have averaged 41.5 pass attempts per game versus the Baltimore Ravens defense this year: 3rd-most in the NFL.When it comes to air yards, Najee Harris ranks in the towering 93rd percentile among running backs this year, accumulating a massive 7.0 per game. (as a result of being targeted behind the line of scrimmage, that is far more noteworthy than it appears since most RBs wind up with negative air yards).This year, the anemic Ravens defense has been gouged for a colossal 41.0 adjusted receiving yards per game vs. opposing running backs: the 5th-worst in the league.
