If the Steelers thought JuJu Smith-Schuster‘s TikTokin’ was a distraction — wait ’til they get a load of this …
Pittsburgh’s flamboyant wideout just provided some SERIOUS bulletin board material for the Cleveland Browns ahead of their playoff matchup this weekend … throwing major shade at the team’s AFC North rival!!
Smith-Schuster’s comments all went down in a meeting with the media on Thursday … when a reporter asked if the 24-year-old had seen anything different out of the Browns this year.

“I think they’re still the same Browns teams I play every year,” Smith-Schuster said. “I think they’re nameless, gray faces. They have a couple good players on their team, but, at the end of the day, I don’t know. The Browns is the Browns.”
JuJu added, “I’m just happy we’re playing them again Sunday.”
SHAAAAAAAAAADEEEE!!!
Of course, Smith-Schuster is no stranger to providing motivation for opposing teams … to close out the season, the receiver made it a point to TikTok dance on opponents’ logos before games.
He’s back at it again… 👀🕺

Turns out, other teams used that as fuel … especially the Bills and Bengals, who whooped the Steelers and griped about Smith-Schuster’s dancing afterward.
Unclear if JuJu’s comments this week will have a similar impact on the Browns … but we do know the Sunday Pittsburgh-Cleveland matchup just got a whole helluva lot more interesting!!!
