How Can This Weather Affect Each Team In The Steelers-Cowboys Matchup

The Dallas Cowboys have a very pass-heavy offense, with Dak attempting 152 passes this year and Ricko Dowdle, the Team’s leading rusher, having 134 carries.

The heavy rain can make it extremely hard for the offense to be successful because it is difficult to catch and throw the ball well when it’s slippery.

It’s a similar story for the Steelers, as well. Justin Field has attempted 109 passes on the season, while Najee Harris has just 68 carries.

However, if both teams adopt a run-heavy offense, it will certainly favor Pittsburgh, which can hopefully rely on their 2021 first-round pick Harris.

Field would also have the ability to show his versatility with a lot of designed runs and scramble opportunities.
