Big Ben: ‘I Don’t Fault JuJu At All’ On Final Throw That Nearly Scored

JuJu Smith-Schuster is not the tallest receiver Ben Roethlisberger has ever worked with in a meaningful game—that would be 6’8” tight end Leonard Pope, I believe. But you would probably have a hard time finding a player with whom he’s had more success connecting on jump ball and combative catch scenarios over the course of his first two seasons in the league.

Though he was limited to just four receptions for 40 yards on Sunday against the New England Patriots, Smith-Schuster had another big jump-ball reception from Roethlisberger on a back shoulder pass.
