PITTSBURGH -- Fifty-one days after vigorously vowing he was going to make changes from a podium inside a closet-sized news conference room in Houston, coach Mike Tomlin made a nearly unprecedented change in the history of the Pittsburgh Steelers organization when he fired offensive coordinator Matt Canada.

In the nearly two months since the 24-point loss to the Houston Texans, there were some changes, to be sure, but none with greater risk or potential reward.

Less than three weeks ago, Canada moved from the booth to the sideline to call plays, a move that precipitated two of the Steelers' better offensive performances of the season.
