Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson addressed a report for the first time Wednesday that he and quarterback Mitch Trubisky got into a heated argument during halftime of the Week 4 matchup against the Jets.
Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin benched Trubisky for the second half of that game in favor of Kenny Pickett, and Pickett then started the subsequent two games.
Johnson appeared to confirm the incident with Trubisky, but he said their relationship is good and there’s no bad blood between the two.
“We’re both passionate about the game. Stuff happens during football,” Johnson said.
