Important Stat: Turnover Differential

The Turnover Differential stat has been a strong indicator of whether or not a team is on track to become a SB champion.

Of the last 15 Superbowl winners:
- 13 were ranked in the Top 10 in T.O. Differential
- 8 were ranked in the Top 5
- Only one team (Giants) had a negative differential and were ranked 26th.

2010 Packers +10 / 4th
2009 Saints +11 / 3rd
2008 Steelers +4 / 11th
2007 Giants -9 / 26th
2006 Colts +7 / 6th
2005 Steelers +7 / 9th
2004 Patriots +9 / 8th
2003 Patriots +17 / 2nd
2002 Buc +17 / 1st
2001 Patriots +7 / 9th
2000 Ravens +23 / 1st
1999 Rams +5 / 9th
1998 Broncos +10 / 5th
1997 Broncos +10 / 4th
1996 Pakcers +15 / 2nd

In 2009, we had a TO differential of +11, were ranked 3rd overall and won the SB.

Last year, we had a TO diff of -6, ranked 23rd and lost in the 1st round as a wildcard.

This year, we're at -3, again ranked 23rd.
Thankfully, we have a great offense that keeps us competitive in every game we play, but I think our D has to really step up with some takeaways to take some pressure off the O if we're to make a real run at the SB.
