Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson set a new NFL record that he won't be bragging to his friends or teammates about anytime soon.
Johnson likely knew there was going to be a regression on the stat sheet with Ben Roethlisberger retiring following the 2021 campaign. He was Big Ben’s favorite target, hauling in 107 receptions on 169 targets last season for 1,161 yards and eight touchdowns.
Diontae Johnson of the Steelers scores a two-point conversion against the Cleveland Browns at Acrisure Stadium on Jan. 8, 2023, in Pittsburgh. Instead, rookie receiver George Pickens led Pittsburgh with four touchdowns through the air, while running back Najee Harris had three, tight end Pat Freirmuth had two and Chase Claypool, who was later traded to the Chicago Bears, Derek Watt and Connor Heyward each had one score.
To add insult to injury, Johnson caught a two-point conversion against the Cleveland Browns in the final game of the season from Pickett. A catch in the end zone, but only counting for two points.
