The trick to Pittsburgh’s takeaways and other questions for Steelers Wire in Week 17

I sat down with Steelers Wire managing editor Curt Popejoy to not only get some insight on what Pittsburgh has going on now but their future.

Pittsburgh’s defense has been great at getting interceptions. What has been their trick?

No tricks. Lots of pressure upfront. Bud Dupree, T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward have been tremendous getting after the quarterback and that is making life easier on the guys in the secondary. That’s not to say there isn’t talent there but their jobs are easier when the front seven is getting pressure.
