Week 13 NFL Matchups: Who to Watch and Why
Titans' Passing Game Heats Up
The Titans have increased their pass rate in the last two games, a positive trend for young quarterback Cam Ward. His rushing yards have also improved, adding another dimension to his game.
Jaguars' Pass-Heavy Defense
The Jaguars are known for their pass-heavy defenses, which could benefit the Titans' receivers. Chimere Dike and Xavier Restrepo have shown promise, but Dike might face challenges against the Jaguars' strong slot defense.
Cardinals' Passing Woes
The Cardinals have been passing a lot, especially since Kyler Murray's performance dropped. They face the Buccaneers, who have a pass-heavy defense. If Baker Mayfield doesn't play, Teddy Bridgewater might take his place, adding uncertainty to the game.
Rams' Running Back Opportunity
The Rams face the Panthers, who have been forcing teams to run more. Kyren Williams, the Rams' running back, had a bad game last week due to heavy passing but could shine against the Panthers.
Steelers' Running Game
The Steelers face the Bills, who have a strong run defense but have been allowing a lot of rushing yards. This could be a good opportunity for Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell, with Gainwell getting a lot of targets.
Conclusion
Week 13 has some interesting matchups. The Titans and Cardinals might pass a lot, while the Rams and Steelers could run more. It's all about understanding the defenses and making the right choices.
