Bad teams fall behind and have to pass more. winning teams playing with a lead run the ball more. This is what the ends of the graph show.

 

Not really since he was already a head coach prior to serving under Tomlin.

 

hmm

 

No doubt. Perhaps a bit more interesting is which teams are most aggressive with the pass right out of the gate. This paints a little different picture. (Notice where the Steelers next opponent falls. DBs better be ready)

(looking at the Steelers in particular their pass/run ratio barely moves up/down from the 1st to the 4th quarter....)

 

Or it might have something to do with our young offensive linemen still learning how to work together

 

A

More likely a 40ish QB effect

 

We have a 40 year old qb so we are going to throw more?

 

I think the "higher than intended" pass ratio has to do with Rodgers to an extent as well. We run a decent amount of RPO's and there were a number of times you could see that a run was called with the option for Rodgers to throw it quick to a hot route of some sort. He's been hitting those options quite a lot. Which is fine.
