The Cleveland Browns will be starting backup QB Jacoby Brissett in this game, which typically means fewer pass attempts and more rush attempts.The Cleveland Browns have played in the 2nd-most "bad weather" (rain, snow, or 15+ mph wind) games in the league since the start of last season, which should result in increased pass volume, lower running volume, and improved passing offense performance when facing better conditions in this week's game.THE BLITZ projects Nick Chubb to be a less important option in his offense's run game this week (51.0% projected Carry Share) than he has been since the start of last season (61.6% in games he has played).The Pittsburgh Steelers defensive ends grade out as the 3rd-best DE corps in football since the start of last season when it comes to run defense.The Cleveland Browns have been faced with a stacked the box on 21.4% of their plays since the start of last season, 4th-most in the NFL. Keeping an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
