Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson was fined $25,000 for criticizing officials after last week’s 20-10 loss to the Jaguars.
After last Sunday’s defeat at Acrisure Stadium, Johnson did not hesitate to share his thoughts on officiating the match.
“They said some stupid things,” Johnson said after the game. “They should be fined for making wrong calls, making worse, terrible calls and things like that.
That’s how angry I am. They cost us the game. I don’t care what anyone says. They cost us the match.”
Johnson added: “They want them to win, man. “They called, everything worked out for them. They get every little call, but that’s the way it is. »
The Steelers fell short against the visiting Jaguars, falling to 4-3 on the season, but came back with a win Thursday night against the Titans.
In their first win over the Titans, Johnson caught his first touchdown pass in nearly two years, giving the Steelers a late lead, who held on for the win, improving to 5-3 this season.
Before Thursday night, it had been 21 games since Johnson scored the winning goal.
The Steelers will host their third straight home game on Sunday when the Packers visit town.
Green Bay got back into the win column yesterday after losing four straight with a 20-3 win over L.A. Rams.
Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. and you can watch the game on KDKA-TV.
