For the second straight week, a former fan favorite in the city of Pittsburgh is making his return to his adopted hometown to take on his former team in the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Last week, it was Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner, who ultimately had a great day rushing for 104 yards and two touchdowns in a 24-10 Cardinals’ win. This week, it’s New England Patriots’ wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster making his first return to the North Shore as an opponent to take on the Steelers.
Speaking with reporters Tuesday from the Patriots’ locker room ahead of the Thursday Night Football matchup against the Steelers, Smith-Schuster stated he was excited to come back to Pittsburgh, but that his focus is on just winning the football game first and foremost, at least right now.
