The Pittsburgh Steelers had a clear goal for themselves defensively entering the 2019 season: create more splash plays, more takeaways. They did that and then some, leading the league in takeaways, with 36 if I recall correctly. They became the first team since 1982 to lead the league in both takeaways and sacks, which is the year sacks officially were recognized as a statistic.
Despite the fact that they were able to take the ball away frequently—they had multiple takeaways in 13 of 16 games—it didn’t always translate into wins, thanks to the anemic offense without Ben Roethlisberger under center.
