Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster had a great first prime-time game of his career Sunday night on the road against the Detroit Lions and it was highlighted by a 97-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter. That play is now the longest touchdown passing play in franchise history and after the game, he, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and head coach Mike Tomlin all talked about it and how it happened.
“JuJu just got separation,” Tomlin said during his post-game press conference. “They were in two-deep, man under, which is often a call in that down and distance and he did a nice job of creating separation and making the throw easy for Ben and then the rest is academic.
