The Pittsburgh Steelers enter Week 8 last in the NFL in yards gained on first down plays, according to Pro Football Reference. In total the Steelers offense is averaging just 4 yards per play on first downs and on Thursday, offensive coordinator Matt Canada was made aware of his units ranking and while he seemed surprised to hear that, he doesn’t seem to be too worried about overall as the team prepares to play the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
“Really?” Canada asked.
Canada was then asked if that aspect of the Steelers offense was self-scouted quite a bit during the team’s bye week last week.
