‘Ridiculous That It Even Became A Topic’: Heyward Downplays Johnson-Fitzpatrick Altercation, Says It Should’ve Stayed In Locker Room

You’re not going to lose too many games in the NFL when your defense only allows 13 points. The Pittsburgh Steelers managed to do that last week against the Cleveland Browns, however. It was a major hiccup in a precarious season that proved to be the last straw for offensive coordinator Matt Canada.

And other than Canada’s firing, the biggest story to come out of the week—nearly a week later—was a post-game altercation between WR Diontae Johnson and S Minkah Fitzpatrick. Johnson was reportedly rather upset and taking his frustration out on others, with Fitzpatrick taking umbrage, as other veterans stepped in.
