Two weeks ago, effort was the concern over the Pittsburgh Steelers starting wide receivers. Diontae Johnson watching a fumble roll by him, not even trying to circle back and chase down the return. George Pickens stopping up on a goal line block, saying he didn’t want to get injured. With two victories, those talks have quieted down. And interim OC Eddie Faulkner sees Pickens and Johnson upping their games in big ways and small.
“On the play that got called back on Diontae’s turnover that overturned it, GP form-tackled the safety right there in the middle of the field,” Faulkner said as shared by 93.
