Canada needs to be fired. Bayless said Canada’s the issue offensively. “Matt Canada might as well go to Canada. The Steelers are winning in spite of their coordinator,” Bayless said on FS1’s the Undisputed.

? Happy Birthday to former Steelers wide receiver Roy Jefferson, born on November 9, 1943 in Compton, California. In 1968, Jefferson led the NFL in receiving yards with 1,074. His 58 receptions and 11 touchdowns were both second-highest in the NFL that season. In the following year, he was named first-team All-Pro by the Associated Press and several other outlets. He finished that season with 67 receptions for 1,079 yards and nine touchdowns and became the first Steelers receiver to post back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons.

Despite being the Steelers’ best offensive player, conflicts with head coach Chuck Noll as the team’s player representative resulted in a trade to the Baltimore Colts for Willie Richardson and a 1971 fourth-round selection (104th overall–Dwight White) on Aug. 20, 1970.

? J.J. Watt said on the Pat McAfee Show that he got his first urge to put on the pads again prior to the Steelers-Titans game last Thursday night.

“When I was with T.J. before the game it was truly the first time that I wished I was getting ready for a game,” Watt said. “I went in the next day and worked out in the Steelers facility. Nothing compares to the atmosphere and camaraderie in a football building.”
