THE BLITZ projects Zach Gentry to notch 3.8 targets in this game, on average, ranking in the 77th percentile among TEs.

Favors Under

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers safeties grade out as the 5th-best collection of safeties in the NFL this year in covering pass-catchers.
The Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line has allowed their quarterback just 2.19 seconds before the pass (worst in football since the start of last season), which has a harmful effect on all passing offense stats across the board.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have used play action on just 18.5% of their passing plays since the start of last season (2nd-least in football), which ultimately hampers passing efficiency.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have gone for it on 4th down just 14.9% of the time since the start of last season (5th-least in football), which generally means less offensive volume, less touchdown potential, and lower offensive metrics across the board.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have incorporated some form of misdirection on a lowly 35.9% of their plays since the start of last season (2nd-least in football), which likely makes the offense more predictable and less effective.
