Watch: Big Ben finds a wide open JuJu Smith-Schuster for a TD

Steel City Underground will pick a play of the game from each side of the ball each week of the Steelers 2020 season. Stay tuned as we hand-select the very best from the black and gold!

In Week 3’s showdown, the Pittsburgh Steelers fell behind the Houston Texans early by a score of 14-3.

Following Eric Ebron’s first touchdown in a black and gold uniform, the Steelers had closed the gap to within seven points. The Steelers defense forced a three-and-out on the Texans offense, setting up Pittsburgh’s own offense with the football and 2:38 to go before halftime.

Ben Roethlisberger handed off twice before the two-minute warning, as the Steelers moved into their hurry-up offense. Big Ben would complete five straight passes over the next 38 seconds of game time elapsed, ending in this slam dunk, a 26-yard touchdown pass to JuJu Smith-Schuster – who found himself completely uncovered going across the middle of the field.

Even the announcers are perplexed as to how Smith-Schuster didn’t have anyone on him, as the fourth-year receiver slowly strolled across the goal line with ease.

The score would set put the Steelers ahead, 17-14, but they would still enter halftime down 21-17. However, the Steelers would render the Texans scoreless in the second half, shutting down their offense and coming away with a 28-21 victory.
