3 fumbles in our 3 losses

I know our team can tackle better than we did against the steelers, I think our defense needs to create more turnovers. We're 2nd to last in the nfl in takeaways (-6 in turnover differential). The fact that we are -6 in turnovers and still 6-3 and leading our division is very impressive. Our defense has been better than I thought, but if we want to become an elite team we need to force turnovers. We don't have the type of defense that will shut down good offenses with many 3 and outs. Turnovers are the key, and while we can get away without creating turnovers against a team like the bucs, when we face a good offense our defense is going to struggle unless it can force a couple turnovers.
