Schefter: Mike Tomlin ‘Stands By’ OC Matt Canada

It doesn’t seem like the national media has a good feel for OC Matt Canada’s status entering Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens. Similar to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, ESPN’s Adam Schefter offered mixed signals on Canada’s standing with the organization.

This morning, Schefter offered this report.

“Mike Tomlin, the Steelers head coach, continues to support the offensive coordinator Matt Canada despite others across the league are wondering about his performance and the Steelers’ offensive production,” Schefter said on ESPN’s morning show ahead of Week Five’s action. “Again, Tomlin stands by him. But it’s also important to note that the Steelers are heading into a bye week after this game and this becomes a critical performance for the Steelers offense and its coaching staff as it host Baltimore today before the Steelers go into the bye week.
