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 Cleveland Browns.
STEELERS VS BROWNS X FACTOR: OLB JACK SAWYER
For the first time in his NFL career, Jack Sawyer earned a start against the Detroit Lions last week. His game was solid. He recorded five tackles, one of them being for a loss. Sawyer didn’t have a sack on the day, but he did manage to hit Jared Goff twice during the game.
