The Pittsburgh Steelers have had exactly three pairs of 1000-yard receiver in their entire history…or at least they did heading into last night’s game. But after JuJu Smith-Schuster and Antonio Brown both hit the 1000-yard mark in back-to-back weeks, they became the fourth 1000-yard duo the Steelers have ever had.
The first time it happened was in 2002, when both Hines Ward and Plaxico Burress crossed the 1000-yard plateau during the Tommy Maddox era. Each of them, in fact, had over 1300 yards. Ward had a career-high 12 touchdowns that year and Burress added another seven.
