Mike Tomlin Cites Turnover Margin A ‘Probably The Most Significant’ Factor In Outcome

The Pittsburgh Steelers entered the regular season finale tied with the Miami Dolphins for the most takeaways in the NFL at 27. They had failed to come up with any takeaways in two of their previous four games entering the finale, but seemed to be back on the right path after getting tow last week.

On Sunday, the Dolphins got two more takeaways to finish the year with 29, despite being blown out and embarrassed by the Buffalo Bills. The Steelers failed to come up with a takeaway as well, and also lost, but kept it close, and in fact their lone giveaway was probably the difference in the game.
