Pittsburgh Steelers fans have let their opinion be known about how they feel about offensive coordinator Matt Canada. "Fire Canada" has been chanted, worn on T-shirts and has been on signs at games not even involving the Black and Gold.

And Steelers great Hines Ward gets it: The fans want to see points on the board.

"Our fans are spoiled, man," Ward told Fox News Digital while highlighting the "Home Field Advantage" tailgate with Fairfield by Marriott, which he'll be attending this weekend at Georgia, his alma mater. "There’s always high expectations when you walk in the building and see the six Lombardi trophies. When things aren’t going well, our fans are very passionate. Steeler Nation is very passionate about their team. So, it’s a lot of high expectations."

He added, "For whatever reason, it seems like Pittsburgh has struggled early in the first half, not putting up a lot of points."

The Steelers are having trouble scoring points this season, ranking 29th in the NFL with 16.1 averaged per contest. On offense, with Canada calling plays, they've been 30th in yards per game.

While Ward acknowledged that the Steelers are still finding ways to win games – they're 4-3 heading into their "Thursday Night Football" game against the Tennessee Titans – he has a feeling why the offense has struggled early this season.
