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 Buffalo Bills
STEELERS VS BILLS X FACTOR: OLB T.J. WATT
The Pittsburgh Steelers have had some opportunities in front of them this year when it comes to injured opponents. Earlier in the season, they played the Los Angeles Chargers, who were missing two starting offensive tackles in Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt. The Steelers had five sacks in that game, but allowed 115 rushing yards and couldn’t wreak enough havoc to even make the game close.
