One major Pittsburgh Steelers mystery was solved this week.
Earlier this week, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was asked if there was recently a locker room clash between wide receiver Diontae Johnson and quarterback Mitch Trubisky.
Tomlin refused to confirm or deny the rumor.
On Wednesday, Johnson was asked about the alleged altercation.
And while he didn't go into detail, he confirmed that something went down between him and Trubisky.
Johnson, however, noted that the two have made up and all is good now.
"I don't want to get too much into detail," said Johnson (via ESPN's Brooke Pryor). "We're both passionate about the game. Stuff happens during football. We're fine, we talked about it. We made up, better over the whole situation. No hard feelings towards each other. That's still my guy at the end of the day. I'm gonna still keep playing for him, cheering for him."
"Whatever it is that he needs me to do to help him look good out there, I'm gonna do it," added Johnson. "Like I said, there's no bad blood between us at all. It's just us being football players at times and we're not gonna let that stop us from achieving the goal that everybody is trying to achieve around here."
"There's no bad blood between us. Never was, never will be. We're both passionate. It's football. We're not gonna let that get between us. We both trying to win games, and that's what we're gonna continue to do is win and play for one another"
Football is an emotional game. And when players care about winning, this kind of stuff happens. Most of the time, we don't hear about it.
If a team is struggling and this kind of stuff doesn't happen — meaning they're apathetic toward losing — then that team probably doesn't have what it takes to win.
The good news for Pittsburgh is that it appears they don't have an apathy problem in the locker room.
