Of all the wild and weird stats the Pittsburgh Steelers had this season, none are wilder and weirder than what Diontae Johnson accomplished. Or didn’t accomplish, really. 86 receptions in 2022 without a touchdown, an NFL record. On the latest edition of his Footbahlin podcast, Ben Roethlisberger had a hard time wrapping his head around those numbers.
“I wish I knew the exact stat but there was some sort of a number they showed during the game that Diontae Johnson has so many catches, maybe second in the NFL of all-time, catches without a touchdown,” he said in Tuesday’s episode.
