I couldn't agree with this more. IMO, turnovers are the most overrated stat in football. A turnover is just a mistake by the offense that the D capitalizes on. The more plays an opposing offense runs, the more opportunities the defense has to create a turnover. A defense that smothers the offense and forces a bunch of 3-and-outs is organically going to have far fewer opportunities for a turnover than a defense that gives up 5 first downs on every drive. I'm happy with every forced punt, and no one will knock a defense that does that every time on the field.

This game may have proved this theory wrong.
