As we’ll do every week to get you ready for the upcoming game, our X-Factor of the week. Sometimes it’s a player, unit, concept, or scheme. Here’s our X-Factor for Sunday’s regular season finale against the Baltimore Ravens.
X-FACTOR: DIONTAE JOHNSON & CHASE CLAYPOOL
Wide receivers have to step up this week. Happy Diontae Johnson is back, making a bleak passing game look a little less so. The Baltimore Ravens’ front seven has largely been untouched by injury. It’s their secondary that has been ravaged by the injury bug. By basically all metrics, they have the worst passing defense in the league.
