It’s hard to argue with T.J. Watt’s statement. Sitting down for a year-in-review interview with Steelers.com’s Missi Matthews, Watt said while the defense had its moments, they’ll be remembered for the lack of turnovers they failed to create.
“Just the turnover aspect is the number one thing that comes to mind. I think we’ll be tied to the 2018 Steelers that we weren’t able to get as many turnovers as I would’ve liked.”
That’s an understatement if there ever was one. Pittsburgh finished the year tied for 29th in takeaways with just 15, one of only four teams to average fewer than one per game.
