The Pittsburgh Steelers made a huge move this week by firing offensive coordinator Matt Canada, a move that many fans have wanted for more than a year.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin announced that running backs coach Eddie Faulkner will serve as the team's offensive coordinator moving forward while quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan will serve as the team's play caller.
Sullivan was previously an offensive coordinator with the New York Giants and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Faulkner and Sullivan can help the Steelers end an embarrassing streak this weekend when Pittsburgh travels to Ohio to take on the Cincinnati Bengals.
According to CBS Sports, the Steelers have failed to surpass 400 total yards in 58 straight games. That's the second-longest streak in NFL history (the Raiders went 75 games without reaching 400 total yards from 2005 to 2010).
The Steelers should have a decent shot to end that streak this weekend. The Bengals have allowed over 400 total yards of offense in three of their last four games (Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans, and San Francisco 49ers).
Pittsburgh and Cincinnati kick off at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday afternoon.
