Plenty of weird to go around from the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 21-14 win over the New England Patriots in Week 3.
– Starting with the defense. Pittsburgh forced five turnovers for the first time in a game since the 2022 season opener, a wacky Week 1 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Sunday marked only the fourth such occurrence since 2010.
– Four of those takeaways came via forced fumbles. Pittsburgh hasn’t forced/recovered four fumbles in a game since 2010 when the Steelers fell on four of them in a 19-11 win over the Tennessee Titans.
However, Pittsburgh forced one of those fumbles on special teams.
