Reaches end zone in blowout win
Johnson caught both of his targets for 33 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 43-13 win over the Panthers.
Johnson led Tampa Bay in receiving yards, and he was one of two pass catchers with multiple receptions. Quarterback Baker Mayfield made his return to action after missing three games with a thumb injury, and he attempted only 11 passes, but the two connected for a 14-yard score in the second quarter. On the year, Johnson has now reeled in nine of 15 targets for 178 yards and a touchdown over seven contests. He was operating in a more prominent role with Emeka Egbuka (concussion/foot) unavailable Sunday, and if Egbuka is available in Week 8, Johnson figures to revert back to a depth role versus the Falcons.
