A "dancer" who disturbs the Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in trouble after a strong start and obviously a "culprit" has been identified and according to head coach Mike Tomlin, he will have to answer for his actions. 

Recently, the pass receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has been attracting a lot of attention, especially from his team's opponents. Before games taking place abroad, he likes to dance on the host team's logo located in the center of the field for broadcast on the TikTok platform.

However, the whole thing is far from going unnoticed. In fact, the Steelers' last two rivals seemed to be quite motivated and passed on a message in their own way: Pittsburgh suffered three straight setbacks after winning their first 11 duels of the campaign. The two most recent setbacks were suffered by the Buffalo Bills and the weak Cincinnati Bengals.

The Smith-Schuster connection is easy to make. On the Bills side, safety back Jordan Poyer admitted that the behaviour of the wide receiver gave the troops an extra boost. And in Cincinnati, the Steelers' player received a hard tackle from Vonn Bell who had made a breakaway. Bell called Bell's dances disrespectful.

"I am aware of that and I plan to talk to JuJu about it. We are professionals. I have no doubt that these gestures are legitimate sources of motivation. It's all about respect. We'll have a discussion," Tomlin told ESPN.

"I understand that the most important thing is the quality of play inside the sidelines," added the instructor. Having said that, I'm not making excuses for our recent performances and I'm not justifying them with what happened before the games or what's being broadcast on social networks".

Tomlin's men will try to curb their scarcity by hosting the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
