For the second time in as many weeks, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, looking for something to get the offense going, turned to his old reliable in the second half, beginning to feed fourth-year wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, who had come into that stretch with his numbers and opportunities wavering from game to game.
It feels as though every time fans or the media try to put him on the back burner, things begin to turn back to him when the offense needs plays to be made. And he was particularly dominant on the final play of the third quarter that drew the Steelers back into a one-possession deficit, highlighted by a 31-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the fourth quarter that featured him wrestling his way into the end zone inside the five.
