PITTSBURGH -- After standing up in front of his teammates to take accountability for not diving for a loose ball on Jaylen Warren's fumble against the Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Diontae Johnson addressed his error with reporters Wednesday morning.

"That's not me as a player," he said. "One play doesn't define me, never will. I didn't come up playing football like that, so obviously it looks bad on film. From here on out, just going forward, just be smart, keep playing til the whistle blows.
