Matt Canada, the offensive coordinator, was let go by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Even though the club has a respectable record, it’s obvious that something is wrong in Pittsburgh. Now, the question is whether the new OC can improve matters.

To some who argue that the Steelers are a winning team, this may seem like an overreaction, but it is true that the club has not performed well given their current 6-4 record.

The Pittsburgh Steelers bench Matt Canada, their offensive coordinator

The Pittsburgh Steelers have fired offensive coordinator Matt Canada, the organization announced on Tuesday. Additionally, head coach Mike Tomlin addressed Canada’s expulsion in a statement. “Matt Canada has been relieved of his responsibilities as offensive coordinator. I value his diligence and commitment and wish him the best in his future endeavors.”

Regarding the future, it is anticipated that the Steelers would name running backs coach Eddie Faulkner as their offensive coordinator and quarterback coach Mike Sullivan as their play caller. This basically means that when it comes to the offense, the squad is splitting up the game preparation duties. The issue starts to make sense when you take into account that over Canada’s three seasons, the squad did not record more than 400 yards of offense at any point. its was the Steelers’ story for a total of 58 games in a row, which was good enough to make it the second-longest streak of its kind in NFL history.

The Steelers are a statistical outlier.

As previously stated, the Steelers have a record of 6-4. This is astounding when you consider that the team is the first to be outgained in each of their first eight games and still have a winning record since the NFL started keeping track of receiving and rushing statistics in 1933. In terms of specifics, since 1970, quarterback Kenny Pickett has had the lowest pass touchdown percentage (1.9%) of any quarterback with 500 or more attempts. Regarding the club itself, the Steelers rank 28th in the NFL in terms of scoring average per game this season. They rank 31st in the NFL in terms of throw touchdown average, with an average of just 0.7 per game. Naturally, this leads us to another section.
