Our turnover differential is at a +6 tied for fifth in the league our defense has been finally creating turnovers. I can't remember the last time we were this high in this category it's definitely been a while

We've been pretty good in the past at getting INTs we've just never had much luck with fumbles...I can't remember the last time we recovered this many fumbles for an entire season. I think we've forced 9 fumbles and recovered 8 of them...that's pretty awesome.
 
We have also been cutting back on our turnovers over the past few weeks. That is why we are getting up there so high. With Ryan not throwing as many picks and the RBs handing on to the ball we can start climbing the ladder. Next week scares me though, teams that can put that much pressure on the QB and get push in the middle of the line can cause teams to make mistakes. Next week might be a turnover fest because the lions can't seem to play at home without throwing picks.

Hope that Reggie plays, he is the biggest drive killer in the league. Get him running sideways and he seems to forget which endzone he is supposed to be running towards.
 
Yea we've been producing turnovers the last few years, but Tannehill's ball protection has been a lot improved, and ironically, so has the offensive line that's been protecting him....strange
 
People talk about Tanny's ints from last year, the bigger issue early on was his fumbles. I think he lost something like 7 fumbles last year in the first 8 games

We were #1 in the league in turnover differential in 2008.
 
That's huge. The is a definite correlation between turnover differential and wins. We are gonna need to do the same to beat Detroit. Tannehill may struggle against them with their d-line. Then this d needs to eat Orton alive. I wanna see them sack Orton 5 times and get 3 turnovers out of him.
