According to Mike Garafalo, QB coach Mike Sullivan and RB coach Eddie Faulkner will work together to assume the offensive coordinator role following Canada’s firing. This will be Sullivan’s third time in an OC role, having done so previously with the Giants and Buccaneers.

Pittsburgh’s offense ranks 28th in points per game (16.6), 28th in yards per game (280.1), and 31st in passing yards per game (170) this season.

They’re 6-4 despite having been outgained in every game.
