An argument can very easily be made that it was not Pittsburgh Steelers WR Diontae Johnson’s place to call out their “leaking” defense as his first reaction to the question of what is going wrong. After all, they haven’t scored more than 18 points in the past five games, and have only scored more than 20 points in offense all of three times this year.
But the thing is, he’s not wrong. Here’s the problem: the Steelers have no margin for error. Everybody knows that. And everybody knew that the pressure would be on the defense.
