🏈 Former Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith has received serious interest from more than seven teams about joining their offensive staff as the offensive coordinator, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic. There are currently eight offensive coordinator openings, so there’s a strong chance that the Steelers are one of the teams.

🏈 The Philadelphia Eagles interviewed former Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury for their offensive coordinator job on Tuesday. Kingsbury recently interviewed with the Chicago Bears, who hired Shane Waldron as offensive coordinator. Longtime NFL insider Peter King reported in an appearance on 93.7 The Fan on Tuesday that the Steelers will talk to Kingsbury as part of their offensive coordinator search.

🏈 On what would’ve been Myron Cope’s 95th birthday, WTAE unveiled a tribute to the Terrible Towel, which was created by Cope in the WTAE building in 1975. Cope’s daughter graciously donated one of the original towels to WTAE for a display.

🏈 The Chiefs-Bills game on Sunday was the most-watched Divisional Round game ever, with a whopping 50.393 million viewers. Sunday’s game peaked with more than 56 million viewers (56.250).

🏈 Steelers All-Pro outside linebacker T.J. Watt presented a Super Bowl trip to army vet and Purple Heart recipient Adam Alexander, who like Watt, is a Wisconsin native. Wounded in 2011 while serving in Afghanistan, Alexander was given a 5% chance of survival after being struck in the head by sniper fire during an insurgent attack on his base stationed in province of Paktya. Part of Provincial Reconstruction Team, Alexander had achieved the rank of Staff Sergeant when his service career ended due to the injuries he sustained.

🏈 According to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, interim coordinator/quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan will probably not be retained because of the potential awkwardness it could create with a new coordinator. In addition, offensive line coach Pat Meyer is expected to be retained. Dulac notes that the offensive line improved in two years under Meyer, especially in the running game.
