Johnson 'tired of people talking bad about the line'

ALTOONA, Pa. -- The offensive line woes have plagued the Steelers throughout their 7-7-1 season so far and have skeptics far and wide talking about the poor play and whether it's a fixable problem or not.

Wide receiver Diontae Johnson has had enough of that talk though.

"I'm getting tired of people talking bad about the line," Johnson said on a Zoom call Monday afternoon. "If it's so easy, why don't you come out here and do it for us? Show me that you can do it better than me."

The line issues are a microcosm of the bigger issues that have thwarted any sort of offensive success for the Steelers thus far, but hey, they're still trying.
