The Pittsburgh Steelers are in danger of missing the playoffs after their loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, and JuJu Smith-Schuster is putting the blame on himself. Pittsburgh had the ball and was down 31-28 with 1:25 remaining in the game and tried to get into field goal range. Smith-Schuster was hit and fumbled on the Saints’ 34-yard-line.

Jameis Winston’s Fumble Sparks Awesome Internet Photoshops (Photos)
Jameis Winston and the Internet: A match made in heaven. The Florida State quarterback always has provided fodder for the creative folks of the World Wide Web (we all remember those fantastic crab leg photoshops).
