Key Factors

Favors Over

THE BLITZ projects the Pittsburgh Steelers to be the 10th-most run-heavy team among all teams this week with a 46.0% run rate, based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have run the 7th-most plays in football this year, totaling a colossal 60.9 plays per game.
The weatherman calls for 13-mph wind in this game. High wind generally means reduced pass volume (and higher run volume) and decreased passing effectiveness.
THE BLITZ projects Najee Harris to accrue 15.8 carries in this week's contest, on average, placing him in the 83rd percentile among running backs.
Najee Harris has generated 55.0 rushing yards per game this year, one of the biggest marks in football among RBs (75th percentile).

Favors Under

Najee Harris has been much less involved in his offense's run game this year (59.7% Carry Share in games he has played) than he was last year (78.8%).
Najee Harris's rushing efficiency (3.66 yards per carry) has been some of the worst in the league this year (10th percentile among RBs).
The Las Vegas Raiders defensive ends grade out as the 3rd-best DE corps in football this year when it comes to defending the run.
The Las Vegas Raiders have stacked the box versus opponents on 21.7% of their plays since the start of last season, 4th-most in the league. Keeping an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have gone for it on 4th down a measly 14.9% of the time since the start of last season (5th-least in football), which typically means less offensive volume, less touchdown potential, and lower offensive metrics across the board.
