The media in general isn’t giving the Pittsburgh Steelers much of a shot to beat the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend. The Steelers are big underdogs and it is going to take a supreme effort and some luck to pull off a victory. But don’t talk to Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson hear you talking about Pittsburgh having no chance.

When asked about it on Thursday, Johnson made sure to remind everyone after they beat the Chiefs on Sunday, don’t try to hop back on the bandwagon.

The first time the Steelers and Chiefs squared off, Johnson had six receptions for 51 yards and a receiving score. If Johnson wants to back up his words, he’s going to need a much stronger performance. On the season, Johnson has 107 receptions, 1,161 receiving yards and eight receiving touchdowns.
