The Patriots boast a new play-caller this year in offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, and the model projects their pass/run mix to skew 3.9% more towards passing than it did last year (context-neutralized).At the present time, the 7th-most pass-oriented team in the league (62.2% adjusted for context) according to the projection model is the New England Patriots.Calm weather conditions (like the 4-mph wind being predicted in this game) usually correlate with better passing efficiency, higher TD potential, higher pass volume, and lower run volume.Since the start of last season, the shaky Steelers defense has been torched for the 6th-most adjusted yards-per-target in football to opposing running backs: a monstrous 7.29 yards.Since the start of last season, the deficient Steelers defense has surrendered the 6th-most yards-after-the-catch in the league to opposing RBs: a colossal 7.59 YAC.
