Film Room: How JuJu Smith-Schuster Was Wide Open On His TD (And Why It’s Not A Surprise)

With Sunday’s touchdown, JuJu Smith-Schuster became the first sub-21 year old to haul in three touchdowns. And it was his easiest of the year, wide open down the left side for a 31 yard, walk-in score. At first glance, it’s surprising to see the Cincinnati Bengals blow a coverage that badly. Look a little closer and you might realize it shouldn’t.

The same thing happened only a year ago.
