On the heels of catching two touchdowns in the Week 1 upset of the Kansas City Chiefs in Brazil, the 21st overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft is having another impactful game. Late in the second quarter the former TCU speedster got behind two Raiders' defenders and caught a gorgeous bomb from quarterback Justin Herbert.

Herbert launched the ball 55 yards in the air, hitting a wide-open Johnston in stride at Las Vegas' 15-yard line for the touchdown.

The play not only gave the Chargers a 17-6 lead on their AFC West rival, it prompted a hilarious reaction from the Chargers' always entertaining social media team. Wrote the Chargers account on X/Twitter:
