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.
