Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson is embracing the team's underdog status heading into the wild-card matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaking to reporters Thursday, Johnson said he likes "being in this situation" and issued a warning to anyone doubting the Steelers' chances of beating the Chiefs.

"Once we win, don't try to hop back on the bandwagon, you know?" he said. "Cause remember all that stuff you saying now. So I'm just gonna leave it at that."

The teams meet Sunday night at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. They previously faced off in Week 16, with the Chiefs winning 36-10.
