Bizarre moment Steelers WR Diontae Johnson STOPS mid-play and misses the a fumble that lands right in front of him against the Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson appeared absent-minded late in the first quarter of their game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

After his team fumbled the ball steps away from where he stood, Johnson made no attempt to save the possession.

The Steelers were inside their own 20 when running back Jaylen Warren attempted a running play. After bumping into a wall of orange jerseys, Warren fumbled as the Bengals crowded the pigskin.

The rest of the Steelers were quick to react as Cincinnati's DJ Turner II recovered the ball and ran forward. However, Johnson, who was right in front of the play, just watched as the ball hit the turf and turned around as if the play was over. 

While his teammates chased after Turner, Johnson's urgency remained non-existent. Johnson made no effort to help his team stop the return as Turner ran to Cincinnati's 40-yard line. 

Johnson's lack of urgency began before the play when he did not attempt to get around his defender, Turner. 

The lazy display led fans to slam the wide receiver on social media. 

'Such a loser mentality by Diontae Johnson,' one fan wrote. 

'Johnson just stood there and lazily watched this entire play unfold right next to him,' another commented. 'This is the s*** that got Chase Claypool traded away.'

'Johnson with the hustle,' a third fan joked. 

Johnson collected three receptions for 38 yards as the Steelers trailed, 3-7, at halftime. 

The Steelers have a 6-4 record this season while sitting third in the AFC North. Meanwhile the Bengals are fourth behind them with a 5-5 standing.
