In recent weeks, the debate raged regarding the struggles of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense and if the issues were more related to offensive coordinator Matt Canada or second-year quarterback Kenny Pickett.
The answer wasn’t exactly a one-or-the-other thing. It was a combination of both. But it was rather telling on Sunday in Week 12 on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals just how different the offense felt and how much better it performed in the first game after Canada was fired last Tuesday.
That includes Pickett, who turned in one of the best performances his career, completing 24-of-33 passes for 278 yards.
