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. Our X Factor for tomorrow night’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals
X Factor: LB And DB’s Eyes
In the first game against the Cincinnati Bengals, albeit against Joe Burrow and not Ryan Finley like they’ll see Monday, the Steelers came out with a clear gameplan. Take away Tyler Boyd in the slot, protect the middle of the field, and force throws to the sideline or vertical.
I imagine they’ll employ a similar gameplan against Finley tomorrow night.
