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 for the game against the Cleveland Browns.
STEELERS VS BROWNS X FACTOR: WR DK METCALF
The first major move the Steelers made this past offseason was to trade for DK Metcalf, one of the consensus top receivers in the league. So far, it’s been a weird start to the season for him. Looking at his stats, things are solid. Especially after his terrific catch-and-run against the Minnesota Vikings back in Dublin nearly two weeks ago.
