You know it. I know. I hope the team knows it. But Matt Canada’s playcall on 4th and 1 late in the third quarter of Sunday’s awful 30-6 loss to the Houston Texans is the worst of his career. And that’s saying something.
Let’s count the ways.
1. It’s 4th and 1. The Steelers had been running well in the second half, finally finding success on the ground. Matt Canada decided to throw.
2. Pittsburgh went into shotgun as opposed to being under center. Maybe the least egregious part of the game but the Steelers’ downhill nature had been working.
