Seven interceptions on NFL Steelers.

Following Polamalu in [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] were Saints quarterback Drew Brees, the 2009 league MVP, and popular rookie quarterback Tim Tebow of Denver.
Three victories. They made the difference between the Steelers earning the No. 2 playoff seed in the AFC this season vs. missing the playoffs last season, between Mike Tomlin as candidate for NFL coach of the year this season vs. him firing coaches after last season, the difference between success and failure.
For all the Steelers did on offense, on defense, on special teams, the difference between their 9-7 record last season and their 12-4 record and return as AFC North champs boils down to one statistic: Turnovers.
Last season, the Steelers were minus-three in turnover differential. This season, they were plus-14, second best in the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. And, as any football coach or player will tell you, the biggest statistic other than the final score usually determines the final score: turnovers.
"Turnovers mean everything in winning or losing, especially all the games we played in that are close," said safety Troy Polamalu. "You take one away or you give one more, we could be a 3-13 team rather than a 12-4 team. That's the kind of ball that the Steelers play."
Polamalu led the resurgence in the Steelers' rate of interceptions. He tied his career-high with seven, which are most on the team in the past 15 years. The 21 produced were their most since 1996 and tied for fifth most in the league this season. That was a far cry from the 12 interceptions in [link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Conversely, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had his lowest interception rate, throwing just five in 12 games with a total of nine from all their quarterbacks [link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
No player could pinpoint why the team had so many more interceptions this season other than Polamalu's return for all but two games. But then, he had four interceptions last season in a limited role because of knee injuries.
All areas of the defense had their hand in it, too. Nine players had interceptions with Polamalu and defensive end Brett Keisel returning them for scores. Linebackers had six, safeties nine and cornerbacks five. Last season, no cornerback had an interception until the final game.
Their 21 pickoffs nearly mirrored what they did the last time they won a Super Bowl. They had 20 two years ago, returning two for touchdowns as well -- not counting James Harrison's spectacular 100-yard return in the Super Bowl -- and Polamalu also had seven that season [link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Polamalu explained that for the Steelers to get so many interceptions is not usual because of the style of defense they play. It's not a laid-back, constant two-deep safety play that always converges on a pass. The Steelers are more aggressive in trying to put pressure on the passer and stopping the run.
Tomlin's decision to hold an extra practice next week, on Sunday, was not the most popular decision in his locker room.
But wide receiver Mike Wallace might have had the best answer about not being able to watch the early game and part of the second on television that day.
"I don't care. We got to play some ball. I'd rather be preparing for a game than watching one, any day.
"That means we're still in it and that's way more important."
