JuJu Continues To Take Blame For Steelers Loss To Saints: ‘I Let Everyone Down’

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster continued to take the blame on Monday for the team’s costly Sunday road loss to the New Orleans Saints, saying on Twitter that he “let everyone down” after a late fourth-quarter fumble.

When I’m at my lowest, I’m not going to hide. I’m sorry. That loss was on me. I let everyone down, it won’t happen again. pic.twitter.com/amLOGJxino

After the Saints had scored the go-ahead touchdown for a 31-28 lead with 1:25 remaining in the fourth quarter, the Steelers were seemingly driving into field-goal range when Smith-Schuster fumbled at the New Orleans 34-yard-line after catching a short pass from quarterback Ben Roethlisberger after first gaining 8 yards.
