One of the areas in which the Pittsburgh Steelers would like to see a big step forward in 2018 is in not just turnover production, but also turnover differential, a statistic that incorporates both sides of the ball. Last season, the defense took away a few more passes, but the offense also gave up a few more.
The coaching staff is working on both sides of the ball to better control the turnover margin, and there was some positive indication from the preseason opener on Thursday against the Eagles. While Joshua Dobbs threw one interception, the Steelers intercepted two passes of their own and also recovered a fumble for a plus-two turnover differential.
