From the article

Steelers have a very good run defense, which means Deshaun will need to fling it all day. Stats show when QBs throw for the average of 28 times a game, there is a chance of winning. But those contests when the QB has to air it out 40-50 times, it means the run game is crappy, and a lose is inevitable.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Watson faces high passing volume vs. Steelers' run defense but elevated interception risk.

Against Pittsburgh's strong run defense, Watson will be forced into high-volume passing; Barry Shuck notes that when QBs throw 28 times per game, there is a chance of winning, but when forced to air it out 40-50 times, it indicates a struggling run game and likely loss. The implication is Watson faces elevated passing volume but with downside risk if the Browns' run game fails to establish itself.
