The projections expect the Cowboys to be the 4th-least run-oriented offense on the slate this week with a 40.4% run rate, accounting for their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics.Rico Dowdle has been one of the bottom RBs in the league at picking up extra running yardage, averaging just 2.38 yards-after-contact this year while grading out in the 24th percentile.Opposing teams have run for the 4th-fewest adjusted yards in the league (just 85.0 per game) vs. the Steelers defense this year.When it comes to the safeties' role in defending against the run, Pittsburgh's unit has been outstanding this year, profiling as the best in football.
