Identifying the X-Factors for the Steelers in Week 6 vs. the Chargers

The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6 in California. It is the Steelers’ second trip to the west coast of the season, and hopefully the first of many wins for the 2019 regular season.

What is an ‘X-Factor’?

I would describe an ‘X-Factor’ as a player who can truly alter the outcome of the game, single-handedly. Not just a plug and play type player, but a player who always has to be accounted for, no matter what.
