Identifying the X-Factors for the Steelers in Week 8 vs. the Dolphins

The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for the Miami Dolphins in Week 8 at Heinz Field. It is the Steelers’ fourth home game of the season, and hopefully their third win of the 2019 regular season.

When looking at the matchup between AFC foes, there are players who can be viewed as ‘X-Factors’.

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.
