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 Los Angeles Chargers.
X-FACTOR: Pittsburgh’s Offensive Tackles
The Football Gods have a funny way of playing tricks on us all. Just as the Pittsburgh Steelers were settling into Troy Fautanu at right tackle, he was taken away. Finally healthy without a rotation, Fautanu was in a big test against the Los Angeles Chargers’ talented EDGE rushers. Now, he’ll be fortunate to make it back this season.
