During the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 29-14 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, rookie wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster celebrated a touchdown reception by playing a quick game of hide-and-seek with running back Le’Veon Bell.

Smith-Schuster scored his third touchdown of the season on a 31-yard reception from quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in the second quarter.

The score increased the Steelers’ lead, 14-7.

A former Southern California wide reciever, Smith-Schuster was drafted in the second round by the Steelers.

The Steelers (5-2) travel to play the Detroit Lions on Sunday night.
