‘We’re Happy With The Results’: Steelers OC Matt Canada Pleased With Move To Sideline

It might have seemed like a last-ditch effort to get things straightened out offensively, but the decision to move Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Canada to the sideline seems to have breathed some fresh air into a stagnant offense.

That showed Thursday night against the Tennessee Titans as the Steelers marched right down the field on the opening drive, covering 78 yards in 10 plays, scoring an opening-drive touchdown on a Najee Harris 10-yard run, giving the offense life.

Later in the game, quarterback Kenny Pickett helped engineer the eventual game-winning drive, connecting with wide receiver Diontae Johnson on a big 32-yard strike down the right sideline before then finding him for a 3-yard touchdown a few plays later as the Steelers had one of their better offensive performances of the season in the 20-16 win.
