The Pittsburgh Steelers entered today’s game leading the NFL with 23 takeaways on the year. Up to this point, they had recorded at least one takeaway in every game except for the game against the Tennessee Titans, and in fact were riding a five-game streak in which they produced at least two takeaways.
While they still lead the NFL in takeaways, their streak snapped tonight against the Washington Football Team after they failed to record a single turnover, for just the second time all year, only this time it helped to result in their defeat, the first loss of the season, now 11-1.
