Most NFL broadcasts nowadays have so many extra features and microphones on coaches and players that it’s hard to keep track. But sometimes, such equipment might reveal too much at a team’s expense. That’s precisely what might have happened as the Pittsburgh Steelers squared off with the Tennessee Titans on Thursday night.
Late in the first half, while it’s faint, you can hear what appears to be Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Matt Canada — curiously positioned on the sideline — reciting a full Steelers play. Suffice it to say, the microphone probably shouldn’t have picked that up and revealed part of the Steelers’ strategy. (If that’s what happened.)
Whoops?

For what it’s worth, Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett threw an incomplete pass to Allen Robinson on the subsequent play. So, at least this didn’t have much of an effect on live play (not that it necessarily would have). Though, I’m sure if the Steelers hear about this apparent snafu, they won’t be happy.
