Big time players make big time plays in big time moments.
JuJu Smith-Schuster took no time to pat himself on the back for two huge catches late in the game. No one can blame him, though, as he took on Jalen Ramsey during the Steelers’ last minute drive and proved all the talk was nothing more than that.
The emergence of this second-year receiver is a game changer in Pittsburgh. Antonio Brown doesn’t need a counterpart to make things happen, but now that there are two dominant receivers in Pittsburgh, this offense is lethal.
He’s a Pro Bowl caliber receiver who Roethlisberger would trust against any corner in the league. That’s saying a lot for a guy who’s only 21-years-old.
Smith-Schuster is a new found force for the Steelers this season. He’s going to change the course of a lot more games during his career, but so far, this is one of his biggest performances.
