Barrage Of Giveaways Takes Away Steelers’ Shot At Mile High Victory

Since 2000, NFL teams have gone 398-14-1 in games in which they had a plus-four turnover differential heading into today’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Denver Broncos. So it wasn’t exactly bucking any trends when Pittsburgh lost the game after coughing the ball up four times and failing to get it back even once.

There is certainly no disputing that the turnovers were the deciding factor in this game, especially considering that two of them happened right at the goal line. Not even factoring in a blocked field goal on the opening drive, the Steelers then followed up by screwing themselves out of a touchdown off of a play-action pass to Xavier Grimble.
