It was an ugly two-play sequence for Pittsburgh Steelers’ veteran wide receiver Diontae Johnson Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.
On a second and nine, Johnson made what appeared to be a touchdown catch in the back of the end zone on a strong throw from quarterback Kenny Pickett. But, he was unable to hold onto the ball through the ground, resulting in an incompletion.
The play should have been challenged as Johnson took three steps with the football, which made it a dead ball and should have been a touchdown. Instead, the Steelers didn’t challenge and Johnson was rather frustrated.
