PITTSBURGH -- Minutes before kickoff on Thursday night against the Tennessee Titans, Matt Canada exited the Pittsburgh Steelers' locker room at Acrisure Stadium and turned right. In each of the other 21 games Canada has served as the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive coordinator, he turned left out of the locker room, heading down the hallway and to the elevator up to the fourth-level coaches' booth.
But for the first time since he was Maryland's interim head coach in 2018, Canada left the pregame locker room meeting and went to the sideline with a playsheet in hand to call from field level.
