To first win the game, you must not lose it. Though it sounds obvious and trite, it’s the philosophy coaches live by. Especially for a young Pittsburgh Steelers offense making a last-second quarterback swap early in a season when teams are figuring out exactly who and what they have. Pittsburgh avoiding key turnovers and major mistakes is a key reason why the team is 2-0, and Arthur Smith knows it.
Speaking to reporters Thursday, Smith said the Steelers not beating the Steelers is the first task before thinking about besting their opponent.
“You see a lot of games lost, more than won, in terms of teams being sloppy with the ball,” Smith said via a team-provided transcript.
