By Will Graves The Associated Press PITTSBURGH — Mike Tomlin kept waiting for the offense Matt Canada put together to show signs of life. Signs of progress. Signs of the kind of dynamic play required to get where the franchise so desperately wants to go. The signs never came. Not ...
The Associated Press PITTSBURGH — Mike Tomlin has spent the better part of the season — actually, check that, the past four-plus seasons — glossing over the Pittsburgh Steelers relentlessly stagnant offense by pointing to the scoreboard. Now, that might not even be ...
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers fired embattled offensive coordinator Matt Canada on Tuesday, two-plus years into a tenure in which the team struggled to generate points and yards with regularity. Head coach Mike Tomlin announced the move two days after the Steelers managed just 10 points in a dismal loss to Cleveland, saying in a statement that he appreciated Canada’s “hard work and dedication.” That dedication, however, wasn’t enough to help Pittsburgh’s offense break out of a familiar pattern that has dogged the franchise in recent years.

For the first time this season, the Steelers, who had somehow found ways to win close games despite an offense that’s both inefficient and deficient, lost a tight one — 13-10, as the Cleveland Browns rallied behind rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson in just his second NFL start. The Steelers (6-4) came in 9-0 in their last nine games decided by one score, including a 6-0 mark in 2023. But with the outcome up ...
