For the second time in as many weeks, Diontae Johnson fumbled for the Pittsburgh Steelers early in the game, only this time it didn’t prove as costly. On Monday against the New York Giants, he muffed the opening punt inside the five-yard line, the Giants recovering and ultimately converting it into a field goal.
This time, he successfully fielded the opening punt, again inside the five, proceeded to run into Cameron Sutton, but still bounced off of him and returned it out to the 23. But then he fumbled on an end-around attempt on first down and lost eight yards.
