Sure, that would help. But there was a long stretch after the two turnovers where the game hung in the balance, and the Rams may have had a better chance of the defense had taken the ball away.

I think takeaways are often a major factor in determining wins and losses.

There's a long stretch of nothing happening by the offense.
We don't get into these stretches if the offense actually drives the ball and score.

Defense wasn't the issue. Getting stops and handing the ball over to the offense is like a takeaway. Offense just couldn't do squat with the ball.
