Tomlin not worried by Diontae: Ravens 'got more significant pieces'

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin isn't concerned about facing Diontae Johnson in Week 11 after seeing what the former Pittsburgh receiver has done since joining the Baltimore Ravens.

"To be honest with you, I hadn't thought a lot about it," Tomlin said Tuesday, per 93.7 The Fan. "He's not on a lot of their video, so at this stage of the week, I don't know that I've weighed what he might mean to the matchup.

"They got more significant pieces with larger roles that are occupying my attention at this part of the week."

Johnson played his first five NFL seasons with the Steelers, who traded him to the Carolina Panthers this past offseason. Carolina then sent the one-time Pro Bowler to Baltimore prior to the trade deadline.

However, Johnson - a former 1,000-yard wideout - hasn't done much in two games as a member of the Ravens, catching only one pass for six yards while playing 22 offensive snaps.

Baltimore boasts the NFL's top-ranked offense with MVP favorite Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry. Wide receiver Zay Flowers leads the club with 50 catches and 688 receiving yards, while tight end Mark Andrews has caught a team-high five touchdowns.

Sunday's game is another big matchup in the storied rivalry between Pittsburgh and Baltimore. The Steelers currently lead the AFC North with a 7-2 record, while the 7-3 Ravens rank second in the division.

"It's Steelers-Ravens, let's get at it," Tomlin said Tuesday.

"Baltimore's a really good team, and historically, we've had some really good matchups. We just respect the rivalry," the sideline boss added, according to team reporter Dale Lolley.

Pittsburgh has won its last three meetings versus Baltimore and seven of the archrivals' last eight matchups.
