Matt Canada Pleased With YAC Improvement, Believes It ‘Opens Things Up’ Offensively

Through the first three games of the season, the Pittsburgh Steelers have seen a bit of an uptick in something they focused heavily on in the offseason.

No, it’s not scoring offensively, unfortunately.

There has been improvement in the yards after catch portion of the offensive attack though.

Last season, Pittsburgh was dead last in the league with just 4.0 yards of YAC per reception. The Buffalo Bills were nearly a half yard better than Pittsburgh but were still 31st with an average of 4.4 yards of YAC. The 2022 league leader in the category were the Carolina Panthers at 6.
