While true, TO's are a fickle fate that often is simply luck in the bounce of the ball. In other words, you can't rely on them to win games. But IMHO our positive TO margin is the result of a strategic defensive coaching effort and our defensive players learning and getting more confident in their ability to play tight coverage. It might seem simplistic but a QB is is usually going to throw the ball pretty close to the receiver so it stands to reason that a defensive play playing tight coverage is going to be in position to make a play on the ball more often than a defender giving a 10 yard cushion.
