The Pittsburgh Steelers are heading to the playoffs. They are also heading in the wrong direction.
In the span of six days, Pittsburgh saw its unbeaten season and its spot atop the AFC vanish. Any chance of a deep playoff run may be fleeting too after a 26-15 loss to Buffalo on Sunday night that included more injuries, more ineffective play by a sputtering offense, and more questions than answers.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. It is the Steelers’ latest road game after their first loss in Week 13, and hopefully their twelfth win of the 2020 regular season.
When looking at the matchup between AFC foes, 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.
As a clear-cut example of what an ‘X-Factor’ player would look like, think Troy Polamalu. Polamalu’s skill set made him a force to be reckoned with on every play. So, who are the ‘X-Factors’ for the Steelers Week 14 game vs. Buffalo?
