Refs were just killing us the whole game,” Johnson said, via Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com. “The same refs we had at training camp. I didn’t like the refs today. At the end of the day, we can’t keep complaining about the refs. Like coach [Mike Tomlin] say, we can’t worry about the refs, whatever. But everybody’s different.
“I didn’t like the refs today. They must’ve got paid good today or something, but they blew -- that field goal, that hurt us coming into the half. We needed that.”
He’s referring to an offside call on the Steelers during a field goal attempted by the Steelers. A finding that guard Isaac Semualo had been lined up offside wiped out a successful 56-yard field goal by Chris Boswell. He missed the ensuing 61-yard try.
It prompted Tomlin to say to one of the officials (if lip reading can be trusted), "What the **** is wrong with y’all today?”
