From the article

Johnson logged 4 receptions for 66 yards and made critical plays to keep the Saints offense on the field. The highlight of the day for the veteran tight end was a third and eight where Shough found Johnson short. The wide receiver turned tight end was surrounded by three defenders four yards short of the first-down line before making them miss and taking it 25 yards, leading the Saints into the redzone and ultimately to the game-winning touchdown.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Johnson's expanded role and clutch third-down conversions elevate TE value.

Veteran TE has expanded role with Saints since Shough became QB and now looks like one of the better TEs in the NFL. Week 1: 3 rec, 54 yards, 1 TD. Week 2 vs Ravens: 4 rec, 66 yards (no TD despite falling inches short). Made critical third-down conversions; highlight was a third-and-eight where he caught short, made three defenders miss, and gained 25 yards to lead Saints into redzone for game-winning TD.
