The Pittsburgh Steelers fired offensive coordinator Matt Canada on Tuesday.

Canada’s function within the Steelers’ offence has been beneath scrutiny because the membership has struggled to maneuver the ball all season. No alternative was instantly named.

The Steelers (6-4) are coming off a 13-10 division loss to the Cleveland Browns by which quarterback Kenny Pickett was outgained by rookie Browns passer Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who was making his second profession begin.

“I respect Matt’s onerous work and dedication, and I want him the very best shifting ahead in his profession,” head coach Mike Tomlin mentioned in a press release asserting Canada’s departure.

The Steelers rank thirtieth within the NFL with 2,801 whole yards of offence and their seven passing touchdowns rank thirty first. The offence ranks twenty eighth in factors per recreation (16.6), twenty eighth in yards per recreation (280.1) and thirty first in passing yards per recreation (170), in response to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, and so they have been outgained in each recreation this season.
