Taron hates the AFC North
It is official: The Bills have a player on their roster that does not like the AFC’s Northern Division too much.
Cornerback Taron Johnson is the guy, and the proof is in the pudding. Johnson had a pick-six interception against the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier this season in a pivotal late-season game which Buffalo won. He went above-and-beyond that work in the Divisional round.
After the Bills scored a big touchdown after halftime, the first of the game, Johnson jumped a Lamar Jackson pass intended for tight end Mark Andrews. Jackson was staring down his target, who was in the end zone, and Johnson read his eyes, snatching the ball. But as mentioned, this was a pick-six.
Johnson got some blocking help from fellow cornerback Tre’Davious White down the sideline and he took the ball from end zone to end zone. Considering all the circumstances, the slow start to the game by both offenses included, this play was even bigger when things were all said and done.
TARON JOHNSON PICK SIX‼️
