Coming off of the ugly 13-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 11, it was quite clear that the Pittsburgh Steelers needed to make a change offensively.
That ultimately resulted in the Steelers fringing offensive coordinator Matt Canada on Tuesday of that week, promoting running backs coach Eddie Faulkner to interim offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan as interim play-caller.
But that wasn’t the only change that the Steelers contemplated making.
According to Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Steelers’ insider Gerry Dulac, the Steelers had “some discussion” about making a change at the quarterback position, too, benching Kenny Pickett and inserting veteran Mitch Trubisky into the lineup.
