Accounting for their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the model projects the Pittsburgh Steelers to pass on 50.8% of their opportunities: the lowest frequency among all teams this week.The predictive model expects Russell Wilson to throw 29.4 passes in this contest, on balance: the 4th-fewest out of all QBs.Opposing quarterbacks have averaged 28.7 pass attempts per game against the Washington Commanders defense this year: 2nd-fewest in the NFL.As it relates to protecting the quarterback (and the effect it has on all pass attack metrics), the offensive line of the Pittsburgh Steelers profiles as the 10th-worst in the NFL this year.This year, the formidable Commanders defense has allowed a feeble 200.0 adjusted passing yards per game to opposing teams: the 5th-best in the league.
