Juju Smith-Schuster shares heartfelt message for fiancée Laura after Chiefs’ dominant MNF victory over Commanders

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster celebrated Monday’s 28-7 win over Washington with a message for his team and his fiancée, Laura Kruk.

The receiver joined Kansas City in 2024 after a brief stop in New England.

Smith-Schuster posted a series of photos on X from the Week 8 win at Arrowhead Stadium on Tuesday. It included one where he and Kruk walked while holding hands on the field.

“Man, I love this team and my girl,” Smith-Schuster tweeted.

The win improved Kansas City to 5-3, marking a mid-season comeback after an 0-2 start. Patrick Mahomes overcame a shaky first half, which included two interceptions. He finished the game with 299 passing yards and three touchdowns.

JuJu Smith-Schuster’s role adjusts as Chiefs receiver depth returns

JuJu Smith-Schuster appeared in 21 offensive snaps Monday, his fewest of the season, catching both of his targets for 29 yards. It was the second straight week of limited usage as the team works with a healthy group of receivers.

With Rashee Rice returning from suspension and Travis Kelce anchoring the passing attack, Kansas City’s offensive balance has shifted. The tight end’s touchdown tied him with Priest Holmes for the most scores in franchise history. Rice added another grab in the end zone. Xavier Worthy also returned from injury, helping to stretch the field alongside Marquise Brown.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid described the first half as “weird,” with both offenses struggling to move despite frequent turnovers. Kansas City changed the game after halftime, as the team produced three consecutive touchdowns of 75 yards or more. Patrick Mahomes completed almost 90% of his passes in the second half.

Smith-Schuster recorded 16 receptions for 168 yards and a touchdown in eight games. Although his stats have declined, he is part of a strong rotation focused on speed and spacing.

Off the field, Smith-Schuster’s fiancée, Laura Kruk, continues to talk about her travels and training. The two got engaged on a sunset cruise off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts, in 2024. She recently marked the anniversary with photos and a note about looking forward to becoming his wife.
