Fitzpatrick Blames Execution For Losses: ‘It Wasn’t Like We Were Getting Outplayed Or Outsmarted Or Outhustled’

It’s actually somewhat amazing that the Pittsburgh Steelers offense still managed to put up 37 points on the Cleveland Browns last week in spite of the fact that they turned the ball over an extraordinary five times, without really getting much help from their defense.

In all, the Steelers possessed the ball for 14 drives. They started within their own 26-yard line on 10 of those drives, and on only one possession did they start their drive better than the 37-yard line. Following a punt early in the second quarter, they took over from their own 46—on a drive that, of course, ended in an interception.
