JuJu Smith-Schuster will be hearing about this until the 2021 season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver called out the Cleveland Browns before their wild-card matchup, and Sunday’s upset loss at home didn’t make the wideout recant anything he said.

“I don’t regret saying what I said. They came out … today wasn’t our night,” Smith-Schuster said following the Browns’ 48-37 victory, according to Brooke Pryor of ESPN. “Hopefully, the same Browns show up against the next opponent and do what they did tonight and have a great game.”

Cleveland stunned Pittsburgh as they handed its divisional rival a demoralizing loss that included a 28-0 Browns run in the first quarter.

“It was, ‘What more bad things can happen to us?’ It was, ‘We’ve got to make a play,'” Smith-Schuster said of his first-half mindset. “(Quarterback) Ben (Roethlisberger) was calling plays to make it happen … we couldn’t make it happen. Our guys did not quit. We fought to the end of the whistle. We played our ass off.”
