Emily Wilkinson heard JuJu Smith-Schuster’s pre-game comments loud and clear.
While the Browns destroyed the Steelers on Sunday, Baker’s Mayfield’s wife led the Pittsburgh receiver, who spoke critically about Cleveland earlier in the week.
“I think there are nameless gray faces. They have some good players in their team, but at the end of the day, I don’t know. The Browns is the Browns, ”Smith-Schuster said last week, which Wilkinson posted in her Instagram story.
“What did you say @juju?” Wilkinson joked.
The Browns defeated their rival AFC North, 48-37, the team’s first playoff victory in 26 years. They will face the leaders on Sunday in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.
On Monday, Wilkinson – who has been married to Mayfield since July 2019 – posted a holiday message on Instagram.
“Against all odds …. Next time! So proud of @clevelandbrowns and @bakermayfield, ”she wrote.
Smith-Schuster, who had 13 receptions for 157 yards and a touchdown on Sunday, said postgame that he did not regret his past remarks.
“You know, I don’t regret what I said. I said Browns is Browns, “said Smith-Schuster, according to ProFootballTalk.
“They went out and played a hell of a game. You know, there have been games where we feel like we’re losing them and today wasn’t our night and hopefully the same Browns will show up next week against the same opponent and come out and do the same thing they did tonight and have a misfortune game “, he continued.
