Neither the Steelers nor the Jacksonville Jaguars have much to brag about with turnover ratio this season.

The Steelers are minus-10, with six interceptions and six fumbles lost, but the defense has forced only one fumble and has one interception. The Jaguars are minus-3, with nine turnovers and six takeaways.

"We've got to do a good job of hustling and wrapping up, and hopefully the ball will bounce our way," linebacker James Farrior said. "We don't want to make anything easy for their young quarterback (Blaine Gabbert). If we get pressure on him, we might force him to throw the ball early."

Farrior said while the Steelers haven't focused on blitzing Gabbert, they will try to rattle the rookie.

"It'll be good to get some turnovers, but it's more important to make plays on third down," linebacker LaMarr Woodley said. "We think that's as important as a turnover. We're starting to be where we need to be defensively."

I agree with this. I can live with a low number of turnovers if they're getting off the field on third downs.
