The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense is known for its takeaways. A culture that is cultivated and worked towards, the Steelers top the charts in turnovers forced year-after-year. But for the last nine quarters – and counting – those moments have been absent.
The last turnover Pittsburgh’s defense forced came in the third quarter of its Week 4 Dublin victory over the Minnesota Vikings. T.J. Watt keying QB Carson Wentz and picking off a throw over the middle. One of two takeaways, and five sacks, Pittsburgh forced in the win.
Since, the Steelers have gone without.
