Tell a Pittsburgh Steelers fan the turnover battle and they can tell you who won the game. While taking the football away and protecting it are fundamental elements of winning, it’s more true for the Steelers than any of the other 31 teams in the league. When Pittsburgh doesn’t turn the ball over, they win. When they do, even once, they lose.
The Steelers won the turnover battle 3-0 today. And thus, it’ll be a victory Monday in Pittsburgh.
Atlanta Falcons QB Kirk Cousins was responsible for all 3 of those turnovers, throwing 2 picks and a mis-timed snap that led to a fumble recovered by OLB T.
