Steelers - Tuesday: Turnover trend has to Change

By Dale Grdnic

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line woes notwithstanding, there are several other issues that need to be addressed as well.

The Steelers have just 257 rushing yards, 3.3 yards per carry, while allowing 298 rushing yards, a whopping 4.6 yards per run. They have scored two touchdowns on the ground and allowed two as well. Those numbers need to be turned around for the Steelers to continue to be successful.

Speaking of stats that need to be reversed. Turnovers have been hugely lopsided against the Steelers this season, so it's actually a miracle that they're 2-1 with 10 turnovers by the Steelers and just one for them.

"And this is why it's concerning,'' Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday during his weekly press conference, "because we're not doing a good enough job of protecting the ball, and we're not doing a good enough job of getting it.Those two things together can make you extremely uncomfortable.
