As we’ll do every week to get you ready for the upcoming game, our X-Factor of the week. Sometimes it’s a player, unit, concept, or scheme. Here’s our X-Factor for Sunday night’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Los Angeles Chargers.
X-FACTOR(S): STEELERS’ CORNERS
This weekend’s X-Factor could’ve gone in several different directions. Falling on Najee Harris’ shoulders against the Chargers’ league-worst run defense. Or Taco Charlton and Derrek Tuszka to try and jumpstart a pass rush that could be in trouble. Or the safety play of Tre Norwood, Karl Joseph, and whoever else the team attempts to put back there as Minkah Fitzpatrick’s replacement.
