Emily Wilkinson heard the comments before the JuJu Smith-Schuster game loud and clear.
While the Browns destroyed the Steelers early Sunday, Baker Mayfield’s wife controlled the Pittsburgh receiver, who spoke critically of Cleveland earlier in the week.
“I think they are nameless gray faces. They have a couple of good players on their team, but in the end I don’t know. The Browns are the Browns, ”Smith-Schuster said last week, which Wilkinson posted on his Instagram story.
“What do you say @juju?” Wilkinson joked.
The Browns defeated their AFC North rival 48-37, the team’s first win in 26 years in the playoffs. They will face 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 message of celebration on Instagram.
“Against all odds al. To the next! So proud of @clevelandbrowns and @bakermayfield,” she wrote.
Smith-Schuster, who received 13 receptions for 157 yards and a touchdown on Sunday, said the postgame does not regret past statements.
“You know, I don’t regret what I said. I said the Browns are the Browns, “Smith-Schuster said, according to ProFootballTalk.
“They went out and played a hell of a game. You know, there have been games where we feel like we lost them and today has not been our night and I hope the Browns themselves show up next week against the same opponent and go out to do the same thing they did tonight and have a hell of a lot. game, ”he continued.
