Winning pretty hasn’t exactly been the Steelers’ way. It certainly isn’t now, and is wasn’t even at the height of the ‘Killer Bs’ era with Ben Roethlisberger, Le’Veon Bell, and Antonio Brown representing some of the best players at their respective positions.
Their wide receivers make some pretty plays, to be sure, and that includes veteran Diontae Johnson. They’re still leaving enough on the table, however, to groan about. Johnson in particular has had a trial of a year not just for fans but for himself personally, and today’s game was a good example of that.
He finished the game with only five receptions on 11 targets, going for 60 yards, but there was so much more on the plate for him—not all of it entirely his fault, but enough of it, anyway.
