Diontae Johnson’s Return Could Spark Steelers Passing Offense

The Pittsburgh Steelers offense has not been good through five games of the 2023 season. The offense has just six touchdowns, and the passing attack hasn’t been consistent enough. But the Steelers have been without one of their most important offensive weapons in wide receiver Diontae Johnson, and his return in Week Seven could be a major difference maker for Pittsburgh’s offense.

In the team’s win over the Baltimore Ravens, where they were down both Johnson and tight end Pat Freiermuth, wide receiver George Pickens totaled 58% of the team’s receiving yards. Allen Robinson II is reliable, but he’s not a guy that defenses have to worry about.
