For the first time in his career as an offensive coordinator, whether it was at the NFL level or in college, Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Canada was on the sideline Thursday night against the Tennessee Titans in a primetime matchup at Acrisure Stadium.
While on the sideline, Canada and the Steelers’ offense had one of their better games of the season, generating 326 yards of total offense, scoring an opening-possession touchdown and later taking a lead late in the fourth quarter after another touchdown drive.
The move that was announced prior to the game was a curious one, but in the end it worked out well, which has Steelers’ second-year quarterback Kenny Pickett and veteran wide receiver Diontae Johnson excited about the decision moving forward.
