The Pittsburgh Steelers relied on turnovers in their win over the New England Patriots on Sunday, and they came into the game preparing to do exactly that.
The Patriots turned the ball over five times in their 21-14 home loss to the Steelers in Week 3. Quarterback Drake Maye threw an interception and lost a crucial fumble late in the game. New England running back Rhamondre Stevenson lost two fumbles, including one at the goal line. Backup running back Antonio Gibson also put the ball on the ground in the second half.
While some would call that luck for the Steelers, the reality is head coach Mike Tomlin emphasized to his team in the days leading up to Sunday's game that the Patriots have major issues with ball security.
