2020 Steelers Replay, Week 9: JuJu Smith-Schuster is better than his stats

In Week 9 of the 2020 season the Steelers faced the Dallas Cowboys. JuJu Smith-Schuster had played every game, but had been on the injury report and sat out every Wednesday practice from week 2 to week 8, week 9 was his first full week of practice since the season opener.

It would turn out to be his best game of the season statistically, but it certainly didn’t start that way.

1st quarter, 10:56, JuJu Smith-Schuster is the third receiver from the bottom, Chase Claypool is second.

Look at the three defensive backs to the bottom of the screen for the Cowboys, at the snap Ben Roethlisberger knows that high safety has to take either Smith-Schuster or Claypool, and when that safety comes up to guard Smith-Schuster he has Claypool 1 on 1 deep.
