The Pittsburgh Steelers offense was once again putrid as a whole in the team’s Sunday road loss to the New York Jets but at least one young player stood out even in defeat. That young player was none other than rookie wide receiver Diontae Johnson, who registered a season-high eight receptions against the Jets for 81 yards and a touchdown.
Johnson’s Sunday production wasn’t bad at all for a player who had just said last week that he’s tired and that he has hit the proverbial rookie wall with two games remaining in the regular season.
