You couldn't have planned it any better on KDKA Radio Tuesday morning.

Anchor Shelby Cassesse was teasing Matt Canada's firing as offensive coordinator coming up in the 9 o'clock news.


"Massive breaking news out of the Steelers facility on the South Side. We'll have the details coming up at 9 o'clock," Cassesse said.

What followed was a commercial.

It just happened to begin with the "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's Messiah, promoting an upcoming show at Heinz Hall featuring the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.

You couldn't have timed it better.

What many Steelers fans were feeling was translated into an audible "Hallelujah!"

After 40 games of Canada's offense failing to amass at least 400 yards and years of watching one of the lowest-scoring offenses in the NFL, it couldn't have been a more appropriate piece of audio.
