History

Historical Context

In 1992, the Pittsburgh Steelers posted a league-leading +6 turnover margin, anchoring an NFL defense that allowed zero points in a fourth quarter. That season, the Steelers forced 12 takeaways in three games while blitzing on just 18% of defensive snaps, a record then. Today, the Las Vegas Raiders mirror that pressure with a +5 turnover margin, nine takeaways in three games, and Maxx Crosby’s six sacks against Patrick Mahomes. Such defensive dominance foreshadows playoff advantage, just as the 1992 Steelers leveraged turnovers to secure a Super Bowl berth.
