The Steelers are on pace for the lowest number of takeaways in NFL history. They have only four through nine games — two interceptions and two fumble recoveries. However, the Steelers are still the third-ranked defense in the NFL.

"Great defenses make people turn the ball over," nose tackle Casey Hampton said. "We haven't been doing a good job of that, but it is coming."

They need to create takeaways and get into the positive numbers...otherwise, they ain't going very far this year. Keep this pace up...3rd in the North.

Yep. Let's hope they'll start coming in bunches at the end of the season and well into the playoffs...
