Defense wins Championships

This reminds me of the old argument that turnovers caused our defense to collapse in the playoffs...particularly the Chargers game. Then we have multiple turnovers in the Steelers game and the D still has a great game (last drive meltdown aside).

Sometimes we just need to hold each side accountable for their own play. If we want to play that game though, I could easily say the defense not being able to get off the field is killing us in time of possession and hurting the offense. They're also 28th in forced turnovers, which also gives the offense less chances.
