DETROIT — JuJu Smith-Schuster was running as if someone stole his bike.
With the Steelers backed at their 3-yard line on third down, the rookie receiver caught a pass over the middle from Ben Roethlisberger at the 28 and never stopped running until he beat three Detroit Lions defenders to the end zone.
By the time he was done, Smith-Schuster had the longest pass play in team history and the Steelers had a 20-15 victory against the Lions.
“He was moving like he was riding his bike,” guard David DeCastro said.
Smith-Schuster’s 97-yard touchdown was the defining moment of the Steelers’ third consecutive victory.
