Troy Polamalu read the play perfectly, and when Seattle quarterback Tarvaris Jackson threw a short pass to tight end Anthony McCoy, the All-Pro safety looked like he had a sure interception.
Polamalu couldn't hang on, missing out on his 28th career pick and an easy touchdown.
It didn't matter much, considering the Steelers led the overmatched Seahawks, 24-0. The play, though, may have significance.
After two games, the Steelers still are looking for their first takeaway. That, coupled with their seven giveaways in the season-opener at Baltimore, leaves them tied for last in the NFL in turnover ratio (minus 7) with the Kansas City Chiefs.

I wouldn't get too concerned about the turnover ratio after two games. But if we still rank near the bottom after the fourth or fifth game, then it's time to be concerned. _________________  If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart. Otherwise, you're just an ass. | |
