Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has made a habit of doing a pregame TikTok at midfield. On Sunday he did this on the Buffalo Bills logo only to follow it up with an embarrassing loss to Buffalo 26-15.
After the game, Buffalo safety Jordan Poyer talked about Smith-Schuster’s pregame dance and how it lit a fire under the Bills defense and just offered them a little extra motivation. Even Bills quarterback Josh Allen used it as pregame motivation when he said (to paraphrase) “let them do the talking and we’ll do the work.”
Smith-Schuster had a solid game but let’s hope he takes this to heart. If other teams view this as disrespect and it inspires them to play a little harder, it has to stop. What a player like Smith-Schuster wants to do on his off time is none of my concern. But you get to the stadium you are on the clock and it should be all about football and doing nothing to make things worse on the team.
But I want to hear it from Steelers fans. Do you have a problem with what Smith-Schuster did in light of how the Bills felt about it? Let us know in the comments below.
