Emily Wilkinson heard JuJu Smith-Schuster’s pre-game comments loud and clear.
When the Browns destroyed the Steelers in primetime on Sunday, Baker Mayfield’s wife piloted the Pittsburgh receiver, who spoke critical of Cleveland earlier this week.
‘I think they are nameless gray faces. They have some good players on their team, but at the end of the day I don’t know. The Browns is the Browns, ”said Smith-Schuster last week, posting Wilkinson on her Instagram story.
“What did you say @juju?” Wilkinson joked.
The Browns defeated their AFC North rival, 48-37, the team’s first playoff win in 26 years. They will take on the Chiefs on Sunday in the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs.
On Monday, Wilkinson – who has been married to Mayfield since July 2019 – posted a festive message on Instagram.
“Against all expectations…. On to the next! So proud of the @clevelandbrowns and @bakermayfield, ”she wrote.
Smith-Schuster, who had 13 receptions for 157 yards and one touchdown Sunday, said he does not regret previous comments after the game.
‘You know, I don’t regret what I said. I said the Browns are the Browns, ”said Smith-Schuster, according to ProFootballTalk.
“They came out and they played a great game. You know there have been games we think we lose and today wasn’t our night and hopefully the same Browns will show up against the same opponent next week and go out and do the same thing tonight and have a great time. game, ”he continued.
