As we 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 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
X-FACTOR: QBs Coach/Playcaller Mike Sullivan
An obvious choice of the week. Pittsburgh’s moved on from Matt Canada, replacing him with a two-pronged approach of Eddie Faulkner, the interim OC, and Mike Sullivan, who will serve as playcaller. Sullivan was tabbed for that role because of his previous experience as an NFL coordinator/playcaller in Tampa Bay and with the New York Giants.
