Yeah, nine turnovers in the first nine games, and 21 turnovers in the last seven games. The offense went from averaging one turnover per game to three turnovers per game. Once Roethlisberger got hurt, the wheels just flew off the offense. It makes sense, though, considering his ability to convert third downs was the only thing that kept it going, really.
