There was a play that didn't go unnoticed during the Pittsburgh Steelers recent matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals that involved Diontae Johnson appearing to completely give up on the play, and it's something that he's going to have to answer for.
Following a Jaylen Warren fumble, Johnson gave no effort to recover the ball, something that has since gone viral on social media.
Not long afterward, it was head coach Mike Tomlin who addressed the situation, saying that Johnson can't let his emotions control him.
“We gotta take care of the ball,” Tomlin said. “It is our desire, it’s how we construct victory so Jaylen’s gotta do a better job there. Diontae can’t let the emotions of the previous down affect his next down, but I’ll give him an opportunity to address that with you guys. I’ll give him an opportunity to address that with his teammates."
"I’m not gonna add any additional color," he continued. "I think plays like that are best described and outlined by those involved and less so by guys like me. I keep my attention on challenging things, things that await us this week, schematic preparation for Arizona and the readiness of this group. It’s something that he needs to answer for, so I’ll give him an opportunity to do that. His teammates will give him opportunity to do that and won’t provide any color until he does.”
