Watch: JuJu Smith-Schuster’s clutch catch
Steel City Underground will pick a play of the game from each side of the ball each week of the Steelers 2017 season. Stay tuned as we hand select the very best from the black and gold!
It’s hard not to be impressed with Steelers rookie receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster.
Following a huge game against the Detroit Lions, JuJu came right back following the bye week to provide the Steelers with a late spark in a 20-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
That spark was ignited when Ben Roethlisberger finally landed one of his deep passes to Smith-Schuster, who makes a seemingly impossible catch along the boundary lines. Watch as Indy CB Pierre Desir plays near-perfect coverage, and even has his hands on the football, but can’t take it away from the Steelers receiver.
JuJu’s catch would go for 44 yards and set the Steelers up for their first touchdown of the game, all the way in the third quarter.
