The New Orleans Saints defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, sealing victory on a fumble by Pittsburgh’s Juju Smith-Schuster.
After the play, Smith-Schuster — who was very passionate about playing in Week 16 despite a groin injury — broke down in tears.
That’s just rough to see. Smith-Schuster isn’t solely to blame for the 31-28 loss, but this play was undeniably huge.
Making matters worse is that this defeat significantly cripples Pittsburgh’s playoff hopes. They’ll now need to win in Week 17 and have the Cleveland Browns upset the Baltimore Ravens.
