Mike Tomlin calls out Steelers offense despite the win
A clear message to Matt Canada?

The Pittsburgh Steelers were able to even up their record on Monday night, beating the Cleveland Browns thanks to the first career touchdown from T.J. Watt.
However, the offensive woes continued for a team that was already struggling to put points on the board under maligned offensive coordinator Matt Canada. Not only did they not have a single red zone possession, but they punted their next four drives after the first play to start the second half. Additionally, they racked up a mere 55 rushing yards on 21 carries, giving them the second fewest rushing yards through two games in the NFL.
For head coach Mike Tomlin, they need to get their "mojo" back.
"We have to get our mojo back," Tomlin said. "We have to get that mojo that we had in the preseason where we're playing fast and fluid with confidence individually and collectively. We've lost that, to be blunt, in the last several weeks."
However, he seemed to shut down any notion of a change at the offensive coordinator position.
"We're not going to have knee-jerk reactions in terms of trying to make wholesale changes in an effort to change that outcome, but we do acknowledge two is a pattern," he said. "We've had two outings that are not up to snuff in that regard. It has our attention as we're preparing for the next one. We're all in this thing together -- we're not assigning blame for anyone. Obviously, it starts with coaching -- we've got to coach better."
Quarterback Kenny Pickett finished 15-of-30 passing for 222 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
