Cleveland Browns @ Pittsburgh Steelers

The Story: Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper dominates the Pittsburgh Steelers‘ man coverage.

The Steelers have lined up in man coverage at the fourth-highest rate in the NFL this season, which could be an issue against Cooper and the Browns. 

The Browns wideout has dominated man coverage, earning the second-best PFF grade at the position against man coverage and generating a massive 32% target share against those looks.

The Steelers defense has allowed the highest rate of explosive pass plays in the NFL, doing so on nearly 10% of pass plays.

With a struggling Steelers offense and a Browns defense peaking at the right time, a few big plays to Cooper might be necessary for the Browns to win a tight one-score game.

Detroit Lions @ Green Bay Packers

The story: QB Aaron Rodgers leans on Christian Watson and Allen Lazard en route to a Green Bay Packers win. 

The Packers gave attempted 87 deep passes this year, fourth-most in the NFL. 

​​The Lions defense invites many deep passes and has struggled to defend those throws.

 Watson and Lazard have accounted for 75% of the team's deep targets since Week 10. They should be the recipients of a few deep shots on Sunday, padding their receiving stats. 

It doesn’t hurt that Lazard and Watson have combined for a huge 58% target share against man coverage, and Detroit has played man at the third-highest rate in the NFL. 

Look for Rodgers to lean heavily on the two receivers en route to the Packers locking up the No. 7 seed.

Los Angeles Rams @ Seattle Seahawks

The story: Seattle Seahawks QB Geno Smith leads his team past the pass-funnel Los Angeles Rams defense. 

The Rams defense is allowing 0.2 more EPA against the pass than the run, making them one of the biggest pass-funnel teams in the NFL. 

 The Seahawks pass three percentage points over expected, and with the matchup pointing in the direction of passing and a playoff berth on the line, look for Geno to throw early and often against the Rams. 

When the Seahawks QB drops back to throw, we know he’ll be looking for Lockett and Metcalf. And if Geno is to have a big day, he will surely bring those two along for the ride.
