JuJu dogs rival ahead of playoff matchup: 'Still the same Browns'

JuJu Smith-Schuster isn't sweating the Cleveland Browns.

Three days before the Pittsburgh Steelers host their division rival in a wild-card playoff game, Smith-Schuster offered up an honest assessment of his opponent.

"I think they're still the same Browns team I play every year," the receiver said. "I think they're nameless, gray faces. Yes, they have a couple good players on their team, but at the end of the day, I don't know. The Browns is the Browns."

Smith-Schuster isn't a stranger to putting a target on his back. The 24-year-old recently nixed his pregame routine of dancing on opponents' midfield logos. He drew the ire of the Cincinnati Bengals for his pregame ritual, then took a massive hit from safety Vonn Bell during a Week 15 game.

The fourth-year wideout doesn't have any issues with facing the Browns, who defeated the Steelers 24-22 in Week 17.

"I'm just happy we're playing them again Sunday," he said.
