Ahead of the Wild Card game between the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers, ESPN identified rookie tight end Colston Loveland as the matchup's X-Factor.
At just 21 years old, Loveland has already become a focal point in Chicago and a fan favorite. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has regularly targeted Loveland throughout the course of the season, and the young tight end has proven his ability to catch the ball.
It's not a surprise that ESPN named Loveland the X-factor when you consider his stats over the last few weeks. His last two performances have been outstanding, and his usage reflects that.
