Some Pittsburgh Steelers fans have had enough of wide receiver Diontae Johnson following his effort in the first half against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Steelers put up just three points in the first half following their first performance after firing offensive coordinator Matt Canada.
The Steelers could have had more points if Johnson didn’t drop a pass in the end zone during the second quarter. But Johnson had a poor effort play earlier in the game that caught the attention of the NFL world. Video showed Johnson walking away after a Bengals defender scooped up a fumble.
This is embarrassing… Look at #Steelers Diontae Johnson at the top of the screen.

Johnson appears to be checked out against the Bengals. This performance came after a week of reports coming out that Johnson is frustrated with the Steelers. His numbers have been low this season as the Steelers passing offense has been deficient in Kenny Pickett’s second year in the NFL.
