Winter is Coming Here

It’s an AFC North matchup in Cleveland tonight between the Browns and 8-2 Pittsburgh Steelers, with the weather expected to play a significant role.

It’s going to be a mess out there, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some trends worth pointing out.

Running Back Rushing Attempts

In a game where running the ball is going to be important for both teams, Nick Chubb should get plenty of opportunity for the Browns.

Over his rushing attempts line in 2 of his 4 weeks this season, Chubb is averaging 14 carries per game at home against his 11 carries in his only road game. It’s now week 5 for Chubb, and his workload should start to tick up soon. Last Sunday he had his best yards per carry, and in this weather, the run game is going to be important for Cleveland.

On the other side, number one back Najee Harris is the obvious pick for the Steelers. But it was his backup that caught our eye.

The Steelers have been so run-heavy since Wilson took over, that both of their running backs are eclipsing double-digit rushing attempts. Over their last 5 games, Harris is averaging 18.6 carries, while Warren is averaging 10.0.
