Steelers Wide Receiver Diontae Johnson: Sunday, November 22, 2020

(On how confident is he that they can move the ball through the air against anybody) "We're very confident because we've got guys who can make plays and whatnot all across the field. We're just a special group, and we take everything serious. We like to make each other better. If we see something wrong, we tell them about it so they can correct it the next play. I feel very confident because we have a quarterback that knows what he's doing back there, and he's been back there for a long time, so we trust him to put us in the right positions and we're going to make plays for him."

(On his connection with Ben Roethlisberger and if he feels like Ben's having an MVP caliber season) "It's just him really trusting and being in the right spot. We talk about that all the time in practice, if we're in the right spot, he's going to put the ball where it needs to be and we just need to make a play on it. MVP? I would say yeah, in my view. That's my quarterback, and I'm all in with him. I hope he wins it, even if he's running up for it or not, I hope he wins it regardless because that's my quarterback."

(On if he had any idea he'd be targeted so much and his two biggest catches in the game) "I never really know when the ball's coming to me on certain plays or whatnot, I just really go out there and play my game. If the ball's thrown my way, I'm going to try and make a play for Ben and get the team in the right field position. Like I said, on those two plays, it's just me getting open, doing what I do and making a play at the end of the day. Ben's putting the ball where it needs to be, so I'm trying to capitalize on everything."

(On the kind of relationship the wide receiver group has formed) "We came close during camp when we realized we have a special team and a really special defense. A lot of guys being older, you can see it in Ben's eyes that he wants to play and he wants to do good. Everybody coming together each and every week, and we're just going to attack it. That's what we've been doing and we're going to continue to show that."
