From the article

Though Roman Wilson only ran a route on 37 percent of the team's drop backs against the Browns, he accounted for 33 percent of the air yards, trailing only DK Metcalf, who has the fourth most air yards in the NFL (461) this season. That 60 percent of Pittsburgh's total team air yards have been inaccurate prayer yards means Metcalf and Wilson and other Steelers wideouts will struggle with efficiency in ways that might make you take a long walk in the woods on a Sunday night. But the air yards are coming in bunches; Metcalf and Wilson are going to benefit.
