Former NFL Ref Believes Diontae Johnson Scored Against Bengals, Surprised Steelers Didn’t Challenge

The Pittsburgh Steelers seemed to have a touchdown. Until they didn’t. With an offense looking improved and more fluid under interim coaches Eddie Faulkner and Mike Sullivan, QB Kenny Pickett hit WR Diontae Johnson in the back of the end zone for a potential touchdown in Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. But rookie CB D.J. Turner poked the ball out at the very end, leading to the refs to rule an incompletion.

Pittsburgh did not challenge and proceeded to 3rd and 2. RB Jaylen Warren was stopped short of the sticks and worse, fumbled the ball away, recovered by the Bengals.
