It’s safe to say that Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive coordinator Matt Canada fooled everyone in the stadium in Week 6 on Sunday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks when he called an end-around from the 1-yard line for…tight end Eric Ebron.
Wait, what?
Yeah.
Canada didn’t call for a dive play to Steelers’ rookie running back Najee Harris. Instead, he called a darn end around from the 1-yard line to his No. 2 tight end.
Some years, that’d be considered absolute poppycock. Not this year, folks.
Canada was in his bag on that drive, helping the Steelers keep the Seahawks’ defense off-balance with a mixture of runs and passes that saw Pittsburgh drive right down the field for the second straight drive, setting up Ebron’s rushing touchdown, becoming the first tight end in Steelers’ history to do such an act on the football field.
