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. Here’s our X-Factor for Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers.
X-FACTOR: DEFENSIVE LINE
Just like last week, no games here. Straight-forward and obvious. Against the Baltimore Ravens, the Steelers’ run game had my attention. This week, it’s the other side of the ball. Pittsburgh’s run defense has been chewed up the last six quarters including the entire Ravens’ game.
Pittsburgh will get the chance to rectify their issues against the Carolina Panthers.
