The Buffalo Bills players were especially fired up for Sunday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and JuJu Smith-Schuster seemed to be a big part of that.
As Smith-Schuster has done frequently this season, he shot his pregame TikTok dance video from the midfield logo (this time, the Bills’ logo). But the Bills players took notice of the dance on their logo and saw the weekly tradition as a sign of disrespect from Smith-Schuster.
Bills safety Jordan Poyer specifically made note of that in his postgame comments. But that wasn’t all.
JuJu’s dance also played a part in quarterback Josh Allen’s pep talk to his teammates before the 26-15 win.
"Let them do all the talking, all the f—ing dancing. We f—ing work."

The Bills posted a video of Allen’s pregame huddle with his teammates, and Allen told the Bills to let the Steelers do “all the (expletive) dancing.”
So, it was pretty clear that JuJu’s dance was talked about amongst the Bills before the game.
You never want to give your opponent an extra incentive to beat you, and Smith-Schuster did just that. We’ll have to see if Smith-Schuster’s dance continues in future road games.
