The Pittsburgh Steelers offense was the story of the game last Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, and rightfully so with the offense accounting for 37 of the team’s 44 points. But, an unsung part of the game was Pittsburgh’s defense, who forced three huge turnovers and scored a touchdown.
While the Steelers’ defense did give up 31 points, they took the ball away from the Bengals’ high-flying offense three times, and two of the Steelers’ takeaways came in Pittsburgh territory. The third was a scoop-and-score touchdown.
Without those takeaways, the Bengals easily could have won that game.
