Steelers’ Diontae Johnson: Refs Must Be Fined for No-Call on QB Injury

Steelers’ Diontae Johnson Calls for Referees ⁤to be⁢ Fined After Controversial Loss

Following the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 20-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, ​wide receiver Diontae ‍Johnson‍ didn’t hold back in expressing his frustration with the referees.​ In⁣ a fiery post-game interview, Johnson called for the ​referees to‌ be fined for their‌ “terrible calls” that he⁢ believes cost‍ his team the game.

Johnson didn’t mince words, stating, “[The referees] should get fined for‌ making terrible calls. That’s how [mad] I am because they cost us the game. I don’t care what nobody says, they ‍cost us the game.”

He even went ⁤as far as suggesting that the referees may have been influenced by outside factors, saying, “[The referees] must’ve got paid⁤ good ‍today or something. ⁣ [The referees] ⁤wanted [Jacksonville] to win. ⁤Everything was in their favor. They were getting every ‌little call. But it is‍ what it is.”

Johnson’s ⁣frustration stemmed from the roughing the passer calls, particularly⁤ one that‌ was called against Pittsburgh and another⁣ that he believes‍ the officials⁤ missed, resulting in quarterback Kenny Pickett’s rib injury.

The⁤ Steelers ‌were also unhappy with an offsides call⁣ that wiped a field goal off the board at the‌ end of the first half. Head coach Mike ⁤Tomlin ​expressed his disbelief, stating, “I hadn’t‍ seen that called ‍in 17 years of standing on the sidelines.”

Despite the controversial calls, the Steelers⁢ now have to regroup quickly⁤ as they prepare to host the Tennessee Titans ⁢on Thursday. Johnson and his teammates will need to⁢ put the frustration behind them and focus on bouncing back from this tough loss.
