Watching receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster out-jump and out-fight a Dolphins’ defensive back for the football and then quickly dive into the end zone for the go-ahead 26-yard touchdown in the Steelers 27-14 victory at Heinz Field on Monday Night Football was quite fitting. And T. J. Watt Jersey White , no, not because he came into the pro ranks with a reputation as being really good at coming down with the combat catches, those 50/50 balls (though, that is a good point). The reason it was so fitting is, to me, it symbolized the kind of year the third-year receiver out of USC has had through seven games, and that’s one where he’s had to fight for every inch of success. Despite his fun-loving disposition, Smith-Schuster, like most high-level professional athletes, likely has a huge ego. And that’s no knock on him. In-fact, I would expect nothing less Terrell Edmunds Jersey White , especially when the expectations for his third season were raised the moment the legendary and notorious Antonio Brown was shipped off to the Raiders back in the spring. It was said that Smith-Schuster basically dined on Brown’s double-teams during the former’s first two years in the NFL. That is why he had so much success—including 111 catches and a trip to the Pro Bowl in just his second season. Could Smith-Schuster replicate his first two seasons and also elevate to number one receiver status in Brown’s absence?Many—including Brown, who spent a portion of the offseason trolling and mocking Smith-Schuster even though he once idolized and looked up to Brown—didn’t think so. Compounding matters for Smith-Schuster was the fact that, at the tender age of 22, he would be expected to be the leader of the receiving corps. Complicating matters even more for Smith-Schuster was the season-ending elbow injury to quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in Week 2. Muddying the waters even further for Smith-Schuster was the lack of production from the receiving corps, in general. Yes, rookie Diontae Johnson has been a pleasant surprise and a breath of fresh air, catching 25 passes for 296 yards and three touchdowns through seven weeks. As for everyone else? The only surprise is how disappointing they’ve been, especially Donte Moncrief, a veteran free agent the Steelers signed in the offseason to take the pressure off of youngsters like Smith-Schuster. Unfortunately, Moncrief has been barely been able to take pressure off of the bench he’s mostly been relegated to in 2019. As for second-year man James Washington, he’s contributed virtually nothing Womens JuJu Smith-Schuster Jersey , while guys like Ryan Switzer and Johnny Holton have mostly been invisible. This all might have been different with Big Ben under center. But, instead of that, it’s been second-year quarterback Mason Rudolph and rookie Devlin Hodges, two virtual embryos running the show as Pittsburgh’s quarterbacks. When you add it all up, 2019 probably hasn’t been all that much fun for Smith-Schuster, which may explain why he didn’t celebrate all too enthusiastically after scoring that aforementioned touchdown against the hapless Dolphins on Monday.However, he’s still on pace to catch nearly 70 passes for over 1,000 yards. Probably not Pro Bowl numbers, but after dealing with so much adversity in 2019, that would still be a glorious season. When all is said and done, the 2019 season may be one JuJu Smith-Schuster may quickly want to forget. However Womens T. J. Watt Jersey , years from now, when he’s possibly reflecting on a Hall of Fame career, he may look back on it as being a turning point.Steelers vs. Bengals Week 6: Time, TV Schedule and game information The Pittsburgh Steelers face a pivotal matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6, the team currently holding top spot in the AFC North with a 4-1 record. Falling three games behind a division leader would be a huge hole to climb out of with a tough schedule over the second half of the season, but the Steelers should be encouraged by a dominating away record in Paul Brown Stadium as of late.Pittsburgh have won their last five in a row in Cincinnati and are 10-2 there since Mike Tomlin took control of the team. Indeed, they actually own a slightly better record away from home than at Heinz Field, where the Steelers are 8-3 against them dating back to 2007. However, after a number of changes to the coaching staff and along the offensive line during the offseason, the Bengals seem to have a different feel to them in 2018. Years of solid drafting have undeniably improved the backbone of what was always a soft Cincinnati roster and it would be fair to say the Bengals might not be quite the pushover they normally are this year. The presence of Vontaze Burfict will remain a wildcard in this contest, capable of turning a football game into a brawl at any moment. Set to face JuJu Smith-Schuster for the first time since his crunching block last season that turned the linebacker into a meme JuJu Smith-Schuster Jersey White , it should not take too long for Burfict to pick up his first penalty of the game.Week 6:Game: Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2-1) @ Cincinnati Bengals (4-1)Date: Sunday, October 14Kickoff: 1.00 p.m. ETVenue: Paul Brown Stadium Weather: Live weather updateWatch:TV Channel:CBS, broadcast locally on KDKA-TV-2, with Ian Eagle and Dan Fouts as commentators and Evan Washburn the sideline reporter.
