Steelers put all the pressure on Kenny Pickett after Matt Canada firing
NFL Week 11 action overdrive: Lions win again, Chiefs upset by Giants
They may have been a few weeks late, but on Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Steelers finally recovered and fired Matt Canada. It only takes a second to remove the cooler, but now it’s time to see what’s underneath. Canada’s dismissal set the tone for the Steelers to wait and see what happens with quarterback Kenny Pickett without Canada’s coach. You can be sure quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan will get the call and this new scheme will showcase what Pickett and his skills do best. Right now, it’s all about pickets. No one is saying Pickett will be traded if he struggles over the last seven games or doesn’t make significant strides in his development. But there are two things he cannot do. He can’t be worse and he can’t make the same mistakes he was making before. This week, the Steelers host the Cincinnati Bengals, who are without Joe Burrow. This is a great opportunity for Pickett to take a risk and see if he and Sullivan can get him back on track without having to worry too much about shooting.
