Pittsburgh Steelers rookie JuJu Smith-Schuster is adding to the bad blood between his team and the Cincinnati Bengals.

During the fourth quarter of Monday's game, the wide receiver drove Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict to the ground with a punishing shoulder hit, while Le'Veon Bell scampered upfield.

Smith-Schuster was delighted with his block on Burfict, standing over him triumphantly. A clearly injured Burfict tried to push his opponent away to little avail, and was ultimately carted off the field with a head injury.
