Last week, we didn’t have any drops to talk about. That is not the case this week for the Pittsburgh Steelers. And though not every play I highlight below is one that is indisputably a dropped pass, it is worth noting that three of them do involve wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster.
The first one, to me, is the most egregious. Early in the first quarter, Ben Roethlisberger looked the second-year man’s way down the left sideline, having gotten behind William Jackson in coverage. The quarterback beautifully placed the ball, there was hardly much more he could have done, but Smith-Schuster could not make the adjustment, failing to get his arms out as the ball sailed past him.
