What Turnovers is

Turnovers given away: interceptions thrown plus fumbles lost. Each one hands the opponent a possession and usually field position, which makes it one of the most game-deciding counts there is.

Lower is better. It is shown per game, so a team's number does not depend on games played. Source: P + N.
