<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a></strong> ran out of patience after losing 13-10 against the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns">Cleveland Browns</a></strong>. As a result, they fired offensive coordinator Matt Canada on Monday.</p>



<p>Pittsburgh have been outgained in total yards in each of the 10 games they have played in the 2023 season. Despite this, they hold a winning record of 6-4, a feat unprecedented in franchise NFL history.</p>



<p>The Steelers’ offense ranked 28th in points per game, 28th in total yards per game, 30th in yards per play and 27th in red zone touchdown percentage. For a franchise aiming to win a <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a></strong>, these numbers were no longer sustainable, as acknowledged by coach <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-tomlin">Mike Tomlin</a></strong>.</p>



<p><em>“I did not come to this decision lightly, to be really transparent with you. It is my role to absorb and protect those that I work with and this doesn’t feel like that. Obviously, I’m not interested in assigning blame or deflecting in any way. It was not easy, but I thought it was necessary.”</em></p>

<h2>Matt Canada: Have the Steelers fired a coach in the middle of the season?</h2>



<p>After the <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong> fired offensive coordinator <strong>Matt Canada</strong>, an impressive stat emerged. This is the first in-season coaching change for the team since 1941. Just amazing.</p>







<p>The last decision of this kind occurred in 1941 when <strong>Bert Bell</strong> resigned after losing the first two games of that season. Now, <strong>Matt Canada</strong> is out in a very tough decision for Tomlin. 82 years of total stability.</p>

<p><em>“I got a lot of respect for Matt personally and professionally. It was not easy, but I thought it was necessary. This is a results-oriented business, and to be short, the improvements were not rapid enough or consistent enough for us to proceed.”</em></p>



<h2>Who will replace Matt Canada with the Pittsburgh Steelers?</h2>



<p>During the press conference to explain Matt Canada’s situation, Mike Tomlin confirmed <strong>Eddie Faulkne</strong>r, who was the running backs coach, will take over as offensive coordinator. </p>



<p>However, <strong>Mike Sullivan</strong>, the quarterbacks coach, will be the one responsible of playcalling duties. That relationship with <strong>Kenny Pickett</strong> will be crucial to make a playoff run. </p>

<h2>Will the Steelers make the playoffs?</h2>



<p>The <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong> have a 6-4 record and are currently in third place of the <strong>AFC North</strong>. They’re trailing the Baltimore Ravens (8-3) and the Cleveland Browns (7-3). The Cincinnati Bengals are 5-5.</p>



<p>In the AFC playoff race, the Steelers hold the last spot as a wild card and a 10-7 final record might be enough to get a ticket. However, it’s going to be an uphill battle considering many teams are really close: Bills (6-5), Colts (5-5), Broncos (5-5) and Bengals (5-5). </p>

<h2>What is the remaining schedule for the Pittsburgh Steelers?</h2>



<p>After the 13-10 loss to the <strong>Cleveland Browns</strong>, this is the remaining schedule of the <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong>: @Cincinnati, Arizona, New England, @Indianapolis, Cincinnati, @Seattle and @Baltimore.</p>
