Another all-time record for Coach Sound-Bite: Never before, in the history of the NFL, has a team had 5 take-aways and... LOST!!
Way to go Coach!

Wouldn't the inverse also be true? (Hint: if A is true, then B must also be true...) Way to go Coach!

Okay, possibly true for turnover differential... but I can think of multiple Steelers playoff games (in two AFC Championships, no less) where Pittsburgh turned the ball over 5 times (or more) and won. |

In the worst kinda way...! |

And not to be a nitpicker, but the Steelers turned it over twice, not once, so the differential was "only" +3 for Pittsburgh. I'm pretty confident no records were set here. Still ridiculous and embarrassing. Just keeping it factual. |

Three games in we have the lowest 3rd down conversion rate of any Steeler team dating back to 1991 (<26.1%). We're talking going back to the Noll era. A young team with some promising players scattered here and there but too many holes at skill positions.
And of course a fruit-loop dingus at the helm. Next - Minkah, #39! ![[Image: chucktown_sig_pic.jpg]](http://www.mcmillenandwife.com/pics/chucktown_sig_pic.jpg)

This guy was a huge reach at #1 and a complete bust. He got away with a stupid, stupid, stupid late hit today on a rare 3rd down stop that could have cost us big time. Instead of reaching for this bum in the 1st we could have had a primo RB. This team can go NOWHERE until it addresses its RB and TE situation. Fire the fruit-loop dingus. Next - Minkah, #39!

This marked just the fourth time since the start of last season that a team has lost despite winning the turnover battle by a margin of three or more.
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/...in-big-trouble As this article linked above notes, do not look for a big splash in free agency in 2020 to solve problems Spotrac currently projects them to enter the 2020 offseason with just $3.8 million in salary-cap space https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/2020/ Next - Minkah, #39!
