Mike Tomlin Calls Turnover Differential ‘Critical’ In Titans Game In Controlling Derrick Henry

The Pittsburgh Steelers led the NFL last season with 38 takeaways. Lost in that discussion, however, is that they were also among the worst teams in giving the ball away. They turned the ball over 30 times, which ranked as the sixth-most in the league. They threw 19 interceptions alone, by four different players.

They even managed to turn the ball over in every single game of the season. They recorded at least two giveaways nine times, and four or more in a single game twice. There wasn’t a single stretch of three games in which they had fewer than four turnovers.
