PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers’ beleaguered offense showed signs of progress in its first game since the abrupt firing of coordinator Matt Canada. The Steelers piled up more than 400 yards of offense for the first time in more than three years in a 16-10 win over Cincinnati. While coach Mike Tomlin says he’s not getting ahead of himself, quarterback Kenny Pickett led an offense that showed flashes of explosiveness that were rare during Canada’s two-plus-year tenure. The Steelers are 7-4 before heading into a visit by the struggling Arizona Cardinals.
