We’ve seen players call out officiating a lot but we’ve never seen a player blast officials for trying to rig games.

“They wanted them to win” he told reporters. “They was calling… everything was in their favor. Every little call. But it is what it is. I’m moving on from it.”

Johnson was unhappy with the officiating when Kenny Pickett was injured on a play that clearly appeared to be roughing the passer.
You can assume the Steelers wide receiver will receive a nice letter from the NFL this week that’ll cost him some money.
