DETROIT — JuJu Smith-Schuster made an inside move like a 10-year veteran and used his young legs to do the rest.
The rookie receiver scored on a 97-yard touchdown pass from Ben Roethlisberger late in the third quarter, and the Steelers forced Detroit to lose the ball on downs twice in a 20-15 win Sunday night.
Smith-Schuster, selected No. 62 overall from USC, had season highs with seven receptions for 193 yards.
“A lot of people said, ‘He’s young, he’s immature,’” Smith-Schuster said. “I’m 20 years old, but when I’m on the field, playing with my boys, I’m going to get the job done.
