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 Indianapolis Colts.
STEELERS VS COLTS X FACTOR: QB AARON RODGERS
Aaron Rodgers has been everything the Steelers could have asked for and more. He has four touchdowns in two different games this year. He’s protecting the football and has had to carry the team at points despite being 41 years old.
With Rodgers playing this well, if the defense was able to meet its own preseason expectations, the Steelers would be in a much better place right now.
