The Steelers did a very un-Steelerlike thing by firing Matt Canada. The early returns were promising

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:56:46 GMT

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mike Tomlin isn’t getting ahead of himself. And he probably shouldn’t.For all the good vibes — particularly on offense — generated by Sunday’s 16-10 win over Cincinnati, a game in which the Steelers topped 400 yards for the first time in more than three years and moved the ball at will, the reality is there was nowhere to go but up following Matt Canada’s abrupt firing last Tuesday.“I’m not trying to paint with a broad brush and act like: ‘Eureka!’” Tomlin said after Pittsburgh improved to 7-4 and vaulted to the top of the AFC wild-card race. “We did what we needed to do to win today and we’ll keep pushing.”It’s not just coach-speak. Yes, Pittsburgh looked like a competent and occasionally dangerous offense for a full 60 minutes, a rarity for a half-decade.

You got to just sometimes hang in there and just keep competing and make one more play.”Purdue replaced preseason No. 1 Kansas, which fell to fifth a...
