As we do every week to prepare you for the upcoming game, we give you our X factor of the week. Sometimes it’s a player, unit, concept, or scheme. Here’s our Pittsburgh Steelers X factor against the Cincinnati Bengals.
STEELERS VS BENGALS X FACTOR: CB JOEY PORTER JR.
Joey Porter Jr. has played well this season. The problem is it just hasn’t been a ton of snaps. Porter played in the season opener against the New York Jets but suffered a hamstring injury that caused him to miss three straight games. He returned after the bye to play against the Browns.
