With the postseason teams now figured out, we look at the players who could be the biggest X-Factor in the 2019 NFL Playoffs
The final spots in the 2019 NFL Playoffs have been set. The last couple positions came down to Week 17 as the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles fought for the last spot in the NFC. In the AFC, the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers were going for the AFC North title whereas the Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans actually went head-to-head on Sunday Night Football for the last wildcard position in the AFC.
The Eagles ended up finding their way in. They took out the Washington Redskins and then had the help they needed come their way as the Chicago Bears beat Minnesota. Now, the Eagles will head to Chicago to face that very team that just helped them get in.
Pittsburgh also did their part as they got a narrow win over the Cincinnati Bengals, and all they needed was the red-hot Cleveland Browns to beat the Ravens. Just like last season, the Ravens shot at the playoffs came down to the final minutes, but unlike last season, they held it together this time and won by two points over the Browns.
The Indianapolis Colts finished things up with a win over the Titans and we have all our games figured out. With those questions out of the way, we now look at which player could be the biggest ‘X-Factor’ for every team. This isn’t necessarily the best player on any team — and in most cases, it won’t be — but instead the player who is going to have to step up and make a big play in order for their team to make some noise.
