For the first time in more than two years, the Pittsburgh Steelers ran an offensive game plan and called plays without the aid of offensive coordinator Matt Canada. The former employee was dismissed last week with running backs coach Eddie Faulkner and quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan taking over his duties.
And they just so happened to have produced their first 400-yard game in almost four seasons, purely by coincidence of course. Yet they didn’t do it by reinventing the wheel. They just steered the vehicle more efficiently than before, according to the Cincinnati Bengals.
“Pretty much what we’ve seen on film during the week, that’s exactly what they ran”, said DL Zach Carter about what the Steelers showed in yesterday’s game, via transcript provided by the team’s media department.
