| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone. I am Matt Williamson at Williamson NFL. How's everyone doing? |
| 0:10.9 | psyched up for Sunday night football. I hope so. I am. I think this sets up well for the Steelers. |
| 0:16.8 | I'll give you my prediction at the end of the podcast today. Um, quick just because I want to get it out of the way, Dallas has been really good this year on special teams. |
| 0:27.5 | So that is an advantage to them. |
| 0:29.8 | But the Steelers have been quite good as well. |
| 0:31.5 | I don't break down special teams tape. |
| 0:33.4 | I go to football outsiders, Ft N, pro football focus, and they all have the cowboys ranked very high. |
| 0:40.8 | They actually have a great kicker too, much like the Steelers. |
| 0:44.0 | So I just wanted to let you know on that part. |
| 0:46.5 | It should be high quality special teams, but Dallas has been really good in that phase. |

| 1:18.6 | They use 10 personnel to league's highest rate. |
| 1:22.9 | Zero one personnel, no back in a tight end, at the second highest rate, and their fifth in their |
| 1:29.0 | usage of 20 personnel, as well as 22, two backs, two tight ends. They're also seventh in their |
| 1:35.8 | usage of 21. So they're going to throw a lot of different personnel groupings out there, |
| 1:40.3 | you know, sometimes no back, sometimes two, you know, so it's something to be aware of. |
| 1:47.2 | Steelers are allowing the fourth best yards per game in the league, 261.3. |
| 1:53.6 | They allow just four points on average in the second half of games this year. That's also the best |
