ARI, NYJ (though no TOs), TB, Buff, MIA. (SEA, GB and NE were the other three opponents).
14 turnovers came from 4 of the 5 bottom dwellers.
Point taken but the bigger point is they practice it and it's a point of emphasis for the defense - something also done in the Mason era. Can't remember the last time Anderson talked about turnovers like this.
Da Bearsss haven't been good until this year but that was more about the offense than the defense. Fangio did pretty well with a pretty empty cup. The last two years have seen a resurgence especially this year when they added Mack. We will find out just how good they are a week from Sunday. The game against the Vikings just got flexed into the Sunday night slot - which of course means I will have to listen to Collinsworth, the only NFL broadcaster who makes Joe Schmuck tolerable.
