It is also not a "figurative statement" or a "figure of speech". It's wrong. You are using the word wrong. You are using the wrong definition. You are using the word incorrectly. And when you do so, it hurts your point, especially when you don't admit you're wrong and try to mental gymnastic your way into being right.
The saying is about putting yourself unnecessarily in a position for something to occur. Not that it was an error or not. Forced or unforced. The point. Burrow was doing too much. Didn't you read the football for dummies book. Live to fight another play. Page 106.
"Unforced errors" happen all the time in football when a player makes a dumb play. Doesn't mean it wasn't caused by an outside force. This isn't rocket science. No need to be a genius.
