You’re probably not playing particularly well if it takes a question from a reporter during a press conference to break out the ‘that’s my quarterback’ line, but that’s unsurprisingly where we are with the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger a quarter of the way through the 2021 season.
He got the line on Wednesday out of Diontae Johnson, the third-year wideout who immediately established himself as Roethlisberger’s favorite target last season and hasn’t looked back, continuing to be targeted at one of the highest rates in the league.
“I feel like he’s been playing great, in my opinion”, Johnson said of Roethlisberger.
