As the old saying goes, to win a game, you have to first not lose it. Sounds obvious, sounds dorky, but it’s true. The Pittsburgh Steelers know that all too well. Last year before they went on their 7-2 run, no one beat themselves quite like the Steelers. Turnovers and sloppy play defined the first half of their season.
The issue reared its ugly head in 2023’s opening loss to the San Francisco 49ers. No doubt, the 49ers have an excellent defense and had a great game plan to stifle Pittsburgh. But the Steelers hurt themselves time and time again.
