There’s nothing that gets fans more mad than a jet sweep. An unsuccessful one, anyway. One of the features of Matt Canada’s offense, that play might get ripped out of new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith’s playbook. Based on his history, it’s not one of his called runs.
Under Canada, no team ran more jet sweeps than Pittsburgh. And despite them being widely disliked, they were actually pretty effective. In 2022, the Steelers led the NFL with 30 such plays, averaging over 5.5 yards per carry with a touchdown. That average was better than the second-place Los Angeles Rams, by a little bit anyway.
