The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3 at Levi Stadium. It is the home opener for the 49ers, and hopefully the first of many wins for the Steelers during the 2019 regular season.
When looking at the matchup between AFC and NFC, 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.
