Le’Veon Bell’s Critique of Steelers’ Offensive Coordinator
Introduction: Voicing Frustrations
Former All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell, a vocal Steelers fan, joined the chorus of critics regarding the performance of Pittsburgh’s offensive coordinator, Matt Canada, during the Sunday night matchup against the Raiders.
Le’Veon Bell Questions Steelers’: Questionable Play-Calling: A Predictable Start
Bell’s frustration became evident early in the game when Canada opted to run fullback Connor Heyward on third-and-1 during Pittsburgh’s initial possession. This decision led to a stalled drive and a subsequent punt. Bell’s primary concern was the predictability of this play, as the Steelers had run the ball on all three of their opening plays before punting.
we look sooooo ……… predictable

As the first half progressed, Bell’s tone on social media regarding the Steelers became more positive. He offered compliments to former teammate T.J. Watt, who had an impressive two sacks in the first half, wide receiver Calvin Austin III, responsible for a game-tying, 72-yard touchdown catch, and even Canada himself. Canada had faced increased criticism after the Steelers’ offense managed only one touchdown in their previous Monday night victory over Cleveland.

In the second half, the Steelers displayed significant improvement. They managed to secure a 23-18 victory in Las Vegas, with quarterback Kenny Pickett delivering a commendable performance. Pickett achieved a milestone by throwing multiple touchdown passes in an NFL regular-season game for the first time.
Le’Veon Bell’s criticism added to the ongoing discussion surrounding the Steelers’ offensive strategy, but the team’s ability to rally in the second half ultimately resulted in a positive outcome.
