The Steelers lost a winnable game last week versus Cleveland, a performance that led to the firing of offensive coordinator Matt Canada. Pittsburgh QB Kenny Pickett managed just 106 passing yards (15-for-28), averaging 2.5 yards per completion, failing to take advantage of the Steelers' productive rushing attack (26 carries for 172 yards). They were outgained for the 10th straight week.

“We'll learn from this,” coach Mike Tomlin said. “We'll be back.”

Pittsburgh scores 16.6 points per game (28th) and averages 280.1 total yards (28th), including 170.0 passing yards (31st) and 110.1 rushing yards (16th). It converts 34.5 percent of its third downs (25th) and finds the end zone on 47.3 percent of its red zone drives (25th).
