Pittsburgh Steelers OC Matt Canada reportedly on hot seat in Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Matt Canada has heard and recognizes frustrations from the fan base over the offense led by play-caller Matt Canada. With Pittsburgh fading down the NFL standings, it appears the franchise is at least open to making an eventual change.

The Steelers have had one of the NFL’s worst offenses in 2023. Entering NFL games today, Pittsburgh is averaging the fewest first downs per game (13.3) and it has the fewest red-zone scoring attempts per week (1.3).

Pittsburgh Steelers offense stats: 15.5 points per game (25th), 4.6 yards per play (27th), 36.21% third-down conversion rate (21st), 205.3 gross passing yards per game (24th), 7.69% sack rate (20th in NFL)

The offensive issues have led to fans becoming increasingly disgruntled at the repeated woes experienced since Canada became the play-caller. Tomlin supported the fans’ rights to chant for Canada to be fired in September then said after a Week 4 loss that changes were coming to the team.

However, Canada remains the play-caller heading into Sunday’s matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. While he remains in charge of the offense, though, there is reportedly a growing sense of frustration in Pittsburgh.
