Last week was the breakout performance for Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson. The guy who was drafted to replace Antonio Brown did a pretty good impression of him with his game against the Arizona Cardinals. Johnson’s big game earned him the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 14.
Johnson returned a punt 85 yards for a touchdown against the Cardinals. It was the first time the Steelers got a punt return for a score since Brown did it back in 2015. Johnson also pitched in 60 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown.
