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’s regular season opener against the San Francisco 49ers.
X-FACTOR: LB Cole Holcomb
All week, I’ve gone back and forth on the X-Factor. First, I thought it’d be T.J. Watt and trying to take advantage of the 49ers’ weaker right tackle situation. Then I went to Dan Moore Jr., now officially dealing with Nick Bosa, before coming to back to DC Teryl Austin.
But I landed on Cole Holcomb.
