Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster revealed he earned six figures just for watching an NFL game on the streaming platform Twitch.

While playing Fortnite with streamer THump, Smith-Schuster let it slip that he made $100,000 for joining TimTheTatMan on a live stream for the Thursday Night Football matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears in Week 14, according to Jordan Heck of Sporting News.

"I did a stream yesterday, with TimTheTatMan, or like two days ago ... we watched the Cowboys game. I got paid $100K for that," Smith-Schuster said.

"Oh, I don't know if you're supposed to say that but it's all good, it's all good," THump replied.

The NFL has partnered with Twitch's parent company, Amazon, to stream Thursday Night Football games on the platform from Weeks 4 to 15.

Smith-Schuster missed the Steelers' past three games with a knee injury.
