PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith downplayed this week’s game against the Miami Dolphins when asked on Saturday, but you would never be able to tell given his highlight reel play against his former team.

Smith (full participation in practice, rest) is on the Steelers' injury report this week, but he does not currently have an injury designation for the game. Smith has hauled in 25 catches for 159 yards and two TDs this year so far this season. He has been targeted on 34 occasions, and averages 19.9 yards receiving.

After an unlikely offensive explosion in Week 15, Mike Tomlin gives props to Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell after MNF.
