Prior to today’s game, Smith-Schuster had a ritual where he would dance on the opposing team’s logo before each game.
These dances were fine during the Steelers 11-0 start — but once they started losing, the pregame antics started to lose their charm. After Pittsburg’s third straight loss to the Bengals last week, Smith-Schuster announced he was canceling this ritual for good.
The young receiver had just three catches for 15 yards and a fumble in the 27-17 loss.
“For me, I was dancing when we were undefeated, I was dancing when we lost our three games. I’m not going to change who I am. …I saw it more as not disrespect, but it’s for my fans on social media,” Smith-Schuster said.
JuJu says he's going to stop dancing on logos for the betterment of the team.

In today’s win over the Colts, Smith-Schuster reeled in nine catches for 96 yards and a touchdown. It’s fair to say he had more than enough to celebrate on Sunday.
With a shocking Browns loss to the New York Jets today, Cleveland no longer has a chance to take the division lead in the final stretches of the season.
The Steelers will face off against the Browns next Sunday with a chance to keep them out of the playoffs.
