JuJu Smith-Schuster gets fast start, breaks free for 72-yard TD catch

So that's how you open a sophomore season with big expectations.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster went high for a catch-and-run, 72-yard touchdown in the first quarter of the team's preseason opener at Philadelphia. After beating Rasul Douglas for a jump ball off a free play, Smith-Schuster sprinted into the end zone, then sat down to simulate dinner time -- white towel tucked into the neck of his jersey like a napkin, the football serving as the plate and his right wrist twisting an imaginary fork.

Quarterback Landry Jones started the game and targeted Smith-Schuster down the sideline to take advantage of the Eagles' offsides penalty.
