The Pittsburgh Steelers have been on a hot start to start the 2020 NFL season. However, a sudden COVID-19 outbreak derailed their scheduled Week 4 matchup against the Tennessee Titans which handed them a much-earlier bye week for the season.
Despite the uncertainties, 2018 Pro Bowler Juju Smith-Schuster remains confident in his team's capabilities to pick up where they left off despite having an abrupt postponement:
“I think our rhythm is still there,” Juju Smith-Schuster said. “It’s nothing we have lost. I think it’s still early in our season to have an uncalled for bye week. But it is what it is. The rhythm is there.”
He is also extremely excited to have fans at Heinz Field for the first time this season.
“I am actually very excited,” said Juju Smith-Schuster. “As far as Steelers Nation, this is something they look forward to. This is unbelievable. I think it’s awesome that we are going to have some fans. Although it’s not all 68,000, it’s something that is going to keep us going to see people in the stands. I can’t wait.”
A total of 5,500 fans will only be allowed to enter the Steelers' stadium when they play against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles. The team is hoping to get a boost from the Steelers faithful and provide energy for them to come out with another huge performance.
Smith-Schuster has also been on a tear for the Steelers lately as he bids to make a comeback after missing most of last season due to a knee injury. He contributed 43 receiving yards on four receptions and a scored touchdown in ther most recent win against the Houston Texans in Week 3.
The former USC Trojan will aim to play a pivotal role in the team's offense once again as they aim extend their win streak to four games and remain in possession of the top spot in the AFC North division.
