Watch: JuJu’s acrobatic touchdown catch gives Steelers halftime lead

Steel City Underground will pick a play of the game from each side of the ball each week of the Steelers 2018 season. Stay tuned as we hand select the very best from the black and gold!

The Pittsburgh Steelers offense appeared to be stalling once again to start their road trip to Oakland against the Raiders. Down 10-7 with 2:57 remaining in the first half, Ben Roethlisberger led his unit down the field, knocking on the doorstep of scoring points.

After a surefire Ryan Switzer touchdown came up short because of his shoes (he slipped), Big Ben would target Smith-Schuster, actually firing the ball nearly of his head.

However, the second-year receiver leapt into the air, arm outstretched like a basketball player, and tips the ball down into his arms while also, somehow, getting both of his feet down inbounds for a play that had to be overturned by replay to be ruled a touchdown, because even the officials couldn’t believe it!
