Coming into the season, most predicted the defense to be the strongest aspect of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They were right about that, as the unit has helped the Steelers along to several close victories. The Steelers have been able to do that through their ability to create turnovers.
The offense has started to come around recently, though. Pittsburgh’s managed to put over 30 points on the board in each of the past two weeks, setting season-highs in both of their recent victories against the Las Vegas Raiders and the New York Jets. Even with that firepower, the defense has still done its job, especially when it comes to creating turnovers.
