The Pittsburgh Steelers have a lot of problems, and I’m sure the family of fans of the team heard all about it several days ago during the airing of grievances, an annual tradition on Festivus, celebrated on the 23rd of December. Under different circumstances, a less consistent output in takeaways would be much further down the list than it is, but the reality is, the construction of this team requires that the defense regularly provide the offense with short fields.
Over the course of the team’s three-game losing streak, which they are hoping to break tomorrow against the Indianapolis Colts, they have only recorded two takeaways in total, and both of them occurred in the same game, so in two of their losses, they got no takeaways.
