The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for the Buffalo Bills in Week 15. It is the Steelers’ 14th game of the season, and hopefully their sixth win of the 2019 regular season.
When looking at the matchup between AFC foes, there are players who can be viewed as ‘X-Factors’.
What is an ‘X-Factor’?
I would describe an ‘X-Factor’ as a player who can truly alter the outcome of the game, single-handedly. Not just a plug and play type player, but a player who always has to be accounted for, no matter what.
As a clear-cut example of what an ‘X-Factor’ player would look like, think Troy Polamalu.
