Heading into Week 15 of the 2015 NFL season, the Pittsburgh Steelers defense leads the league in both red zone takeaways (7) as well as takeaways inside their own 10-yard-line (4). During his Thursday interview on Steelers Nation Radio, defensive coordinator Keith Butler chalked up that takeaway success to the team utilizing the 7-shots drill every week in practice.
“We work on this every Thursday and Friday,” said Butler. “Seven shots, we do it every Thursday and Friday. It’s really a two-point play but it happens to be inside the 5-yard-line for us.
