Johnson caught six of 10 targets for 57 yards in Monday night's 26-16 win over the Giants. He also muffed a punt, resulting in a lost fumble in the first quarter.
Johnson's night got off to a poor start, as he gifted the Giants the ball on his own three-yard line after coughing up a punt on the game's first drive. He later also had a miscommunication with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, but Johnson's play elevated as the game wore on, and his ability to create separation with his quickness resulted in a team-high target tally while he tied JuJu Smith-Schuster for the lead in receptions. Although his fellow wideout scored twice on his six grabs, Johnson still flashed intriguing ability behind Smith-Schuster and will hope to cut out mistakes while maintaining his level in Week 2 versus the Broncos.
