The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense was an elite group in 2019, tops in the league with 38 turnovers. With most of the group returning, and key additions of guys like Stephon Tuitt getting healthy, there’s every expectation for this defense to be one of the top if not the #1 group in football.
But can they take the ball away 38 times again? Of course, they can. But should we expect statistical regression considering how high of a bar they’ve set?
We’re going to take a look at what turnover heavy defenses over the past 10 years have done the following season to give us a gauge of where the Steelers may end up in 2020.
