As we do every week to get you ready for our 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 of the game against the New York Jets.
STEELERS VS JETS X FACTOR: RB JAYLEN WARREN
Football is finally back, which means Arthur Smith is foaming at the mouth to start running the football. That’s exactly what the Steelers are going to try to do with Jaylen Warren, and that’s why he’s this week’s X-factor. Warren is a player yinzers have wanted in the lead-back role for a while, and he gets his first chance on Sunday.
