3 Biggest X-Factors For Steelers to Keep Rolling vs Buccaneers

The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to move to 4-2 on the season this week when theu travel out on the road to face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Pittsburgh took down the Indianapolis Colts last week, with the offense coming alive during the game. The Steelers offense has looked much better in recent weeks, being led by veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

As the team prepares for the Buccaneers, they can't overlook this team, with Tampa Bay being 1-4 on the season. Pittsburgh is looking to get its first win on the road this season, but this game could be a little bit of a challenge for the Steelers.

Here are three of the biggest X-Factors for the Steelers to take down the Buccaneers this week on the road:

1. Feed Jaylen Warren

Over the last few weeks, running back Jaylen Warren has been the catalyst for the Steelers on the offensive side of the ball. Warren has emerged fully this season for this team, rushing for 410 yards and one touchdown, while catching 19 passes for 231 yards and one score.

Against the Buccaneers, the Steelers need to keep giving Warren the ball, allowing him to do what he does best out on the field. If Warren can put together another strong showing, it would at least give Pittsburgh a much better chance to come out on top.

2. Trust Aaron Rodgers

The Steelers do enter this game dealing with multiple injuries to wide receivers, which could play a role in the outcome of the contest. Michael Pittman Jr. is on injured reserve, while Roman Wilson's status remains up int he air due to a foot injury.

So, the Steelers are going to have to rely on Rodgers in this game and whoever is able to get out on the field with the veteran. Rodgers is good enough to keep this offense rolling, and Pittsburgh may need him to turn back the clock again against Tampa Bay.

3. Pressure Jalon Daniels

With the Buccaneers starting rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels over Baker Mayfield, the Steelers could have an advantage in the game. Daniels doesn't have a lot of experience as a starter, and the Pittsburgh defense should look to get after him from the start of the game.

While Daniels did lead the Buccaneers to a win last week, there is now more tape on him and Pittsburgh should look to exploit the rookie. Daniels does have strong speed, which could cause some problems for the Steelers, so the entire defense will need to be on alert during the game.
