Film Room: Defining WR Diontae Johnson’s ‘Late Hands’

One of the biggest plays of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Thursday win over the Tennessee Titans was WR Diontae Johnson’s 32-yard, third down reception with five minutes to play in the fourth quarter. Trailing 16-13, it put Pittsburgh in field goal range and they did better than just settle for three, Johnson later finding the end zone for the first time in nearly two years.

But before he could celebrate, Pittsburgh had to convert. QB Kenny Pickett dropped the throw in the bucket down the right sideline and Johnson made the catch, seemingly without resistance despite cornerback Tre Avery offering decent downfield coverage.
