After the play, Smith-Schuster — who was very passionate about playing in Week 16 despite a groin injury — broke down in tears.

That’s just rough to see. Smith-Schuster isn’t solely to blame for this loss, but this play was undeniably huge.
Making matters worse is that this loss significantly cripples Pittsburgh’s playoff hopes. They’ll now need to win in Week 17 and have the Cleveland Browns upset the Baltimore Ravens.
