Key Statistical Trends for Week 3

Seth Walder highlights three statistical trends that could define the results of Week 3.The Performance of Steelers’ Pass Rushers: How will T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig perform against the Patriots? Watt, with a 7% pass rush win rate, faces Morgan Moses, who has the lowest blocking rate in the NFL. On the other hand, Herbig could have a crucial role, especially in the absence of Alex Highsmith.Will the Bengals’ Pass Protection Improve for Jake Browning?: The Bengals’ pass protection improved noticeably when Browning replaced Joe Burrow in 2023. Walder will examine whether this trend continues, which would be crucial given Burrow’s recovery time following his foot surgery.Hollywood Brown in the Slot: Brown has been a frequent target, and is expected to have a big day against the Giants, especially from the slot, where he could exploit New York’s defensive weaknesses.
