In a shocking turn of events, the Pittsburgh Steelers have made their first in-season coaching change in over 80 years, firing offensive coordinator Matt Canada. The decision came after a tumultuous week for the team, with reports surfacing of a heated argument between wide receiver Diontae Johnson and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick following their disappointing 13-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

According to ESPN, tensions flared in the Steelers' locker room as Johnson, visibly upset by his lackluster performance of only two receptions for 16 yards, had an animated discussion with head coach Mike Tomlin. The situation escalated further when Johnson began "chirping" at the coaches, prompting Fitzpatrick to engage in a fiery argument with the wide receiver.

Fortunately, teammates Cameron Heyward and T.J. Watt quickly intervened, preventing the altercation from escalating further. They emphasized the importance of unity and urged the team to stick together despite the mounting frustration and disappointment.

It appears that the loss, combined with Johnson's outburst, was the final straw that led to Canada's dismissal as offensive coordinator. Under Canada's leadership, the Steelers' offense had struggled to surpass 400 yards in his 45-game tenure, including the playoffs. This lackluster performance stood in stark contrast to the 31 other NFL teams, all of whom accomplished this feat at least four times during the same period.

Looking to quickly regroup and salvage their season, the Steelers have handed the reins of the offense to running backs coach Eddie Faulkner, who will step in as the new offensive coordinator. Quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan will become the game-day play-caller in Canada's absence.

Despite the upheaval within the coaching staff, the team is determined to move forward and maintain focus on their upcoming game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. ESPN reports that the locker room has managed to put the recent drama behind them, displaying a united front during practices and preparations for the crucial matchup.

Quarterback Kenny Pickett expressed his disappointment over the situation, acknowledging that the team as a whole must improve and not place blame solely on the coaching staff. Pickett's lackluster performance of 106 passing yards and zero touchdowns in the previous game certainly contributed to the frustrations felt throughout the team.

As the Steelers strive to regain momentum and revive their offense, the players and coaching staff alike are seeking redemption. A strong showing against the Bengals could be the turning point they desperately need as they navigate through the remainder of the season.

While the departure of Matt Canada undoubtedly marks a significant change for the team, the Steelers are hoping that the shake-up will lead to a renewed sense of purpose and improved performance on the field. Only time will tell if their bold decision to make a coaching change mid-season will pay off and propel them towards success.
