Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster says the team deserved to lose last night to the Cleveland Browns.

Posting on social media, Smith-Schuster said “(we’re) nowhere close to what we needed to do. The grind continues.”

He also went on to say how proud he is to be a Steeler and hopes he can return next season.

“Pittsburgh, I am proud to represent and fight for this city every time I step on the grass. Every time I wear the black and gold, I know I’m not just wearing a team’s jersey, I am wearing a tradition, a city, a culture, a brand and a global fan base on my back and I am so thankful for that privilege! I am a proud STEELER through thick and thin. I would love to be back for more, to be part of the group that brings this organization to where it belongs. Thank you for the support and having my back.”

Smith-Schuster had the best game of his career in Sunday night’s loss to Cleveland, catching 13 passes for 157 yards and one touchdown.

He is a free agent going into the 2021 season.
