Tim Benz: Steelers coaches deserve credit for recent success
Pittsburgh Steelers offense has been clicking under Matt Canada
Since Matt Canada took over as the play-caller for the Pittsburgh Steelers, the offense has been clicking. While the Steelers are still a run-first team, Canada has shown a willingness to open up the passing game. This has led to a more balanced and effective offense that is averaging over 25 points per game.
Steelers' defense has been swarming under Teryl Austin
The Steelers' defense has also been playing well under new defensive coordinator Teryl Austin. They have been swarming to the football and creating turnovers at an impressive rate. This has been a big reason why the Steelers have won three of their last four games, including a big win in Week 11 over the Baltimore Ravens.
Credit should be given to the coaching staff
While the players deserve a lot of credit for the Steelers' recent success, the coaching staff also deserves a lot of recognition. Mike Tomlin should be commended for the job that he has done in leading his team through a tumultuous season. The Steelers have been in playoff contention despite some injuries. Offensive coordinator Matt Canada deserves credit for his work in turning around the Steelers' offense, while defensive coordinator Teryl Austin has done a great job in improving the Steelers' defense.
Patrick Mahomes credits Chiefs' success to coaching staff
Other players and coaches around the league have also praised the Steelers' coaching staff. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said that the Steelers' coaches are "doing a great job." He added that the Steelers are "a tough team to play against." Fox Sports analyst Jay Glazer said that the Steelers are "a well-coached team." He added that the Steelers "have a chance to make a run in the playoffs."
Conclusion
The Steelers have been one of the most surprising teams in the NFL this season. They have overcome a lot of adversity, including injuries to key players. The Steelers are now in playoff contention, and they are a threat to win the Super Bowl. The Steelers' coaching staff deserves a lot of credit for the team's success this season.
