The Steelers are an enormous 9.5-point underdog this week, likely creating an extreme passing game script.Najee Harris has rushed for 0.00 TDs per game on the ground this year, one of the smallest figures in the NFL among running backs (1st percentile).Opposing squads have run for the 7th-least TDs in the NFL (0.60 per game) against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense this year.The Tampa Bay Buccaneers safeties rank as the 4th-best collection of safeties in football this year in regard to run defense.The Pittsburgh Steelers have gone for it on 4th down just 14.9% of the time since the start of last season (5th-least in football), which generally means less offensive volume, less touchdown potential, and lower offensive metrics across the board.
