JuJu Smith-Schuster's TD celebration is reenacting his hit on Vontaze Burfict
The Pittsburgh Steelers come up with new and interesting touchdown celebrations each week, and Sunday’s celebration was really out there.
They decided to reenact receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster’s illegal hit on Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict, which got him suspended a game. Martavis Bryant caught a nice touchdown late in the first half, and Smith-Schuster mocked laying out Bryant and taunting him, just as he did with Burfict.

It’s a bit of a weird celebration, though kind of funny especially when you recall that Bryant and Smith-Schuster had their own drama earlier this season . And if we’re being honest, there are plenty of Steelers fans who had no problem with the illegal hit Smith-Schuster put on Burfict, a villain in Pittsburgh because of some of the dirty hits he has put on Steelers players.
The good news is the NFL probably won’t suspend Smith-Schuster for this hit.
