The Steelers bested the Cardinals this past Sunday on the west coast. While the defense deserves a large portion of the credit for the win (as they typically do), my game ball goes to rookie wide receiver, Diontae Johnson.
Johnson had by far his best game to date. He gave Pittsburgh an early lead with an electrifying 85-yard punt return for a touchdown. But the rookie’s impact stretched beyond special teams. Though 6 catches for 60 yards and a touchdown doesn’t seem like a lot at first glance, Johnson’s clearly elevated his performance from weeks past.
