3. JuJu a Rising Star
The Steelers rookie, who scored the biggest touchdown of the night to put the Steelers up 20-12, caught seven passes for 193 yards and the game-winning score.
Smith-Schuster is doing it all, catching passes, (okay he did drop a third down pass), outrunning the secondary, blocking, and coming up with some memorable after score celebrations.
He’s also kept his mouth shut, which is why he’s playing and Bryant is sitting on the sidelines watching at this point.
As was brought up a number of times during the broadcast, getting Smith-Schuster out of the starting lineup at this point is going to be very tough, and Bryant might not see the field again thanks to his behavior.

If someone had told me at the start of the season that the Steelers would be 6 – 2 and have a two game lead in the division with five of the next seven games in Heinz field at the mid way point of the season I would have jumped for joy . Guess what , today thats where the Steelers are at . Last nights game against the Lions wasnt a masterpiece by any means but they got the job done and at the end of the day thats all that matters . Ben can use the week off to rest , clear his mind and come back the following week with a good strong week of practice . Ben hasnt been at the top of his game the first half of the season and it showed again against the Lions . Missing wide open receivers is not Ben Roethlisberger and for some reason he doesnt look sharp . Is it age , is it a lack of focus , or is his heart simply not in it anymore ? Only he can answer those questions . At the end of the day the week off will do him and the team alot of good and will allow them to come back at full strength for the stretch run . Enjoy the week off boys , you earned it .
