Joey Porter Jr. might be a rookie but he knows the score. And he knows the situation. Fourth down, game on the line, and he’s on the field against the Cleveland Browns’ big-bodied receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones. Of course the Browns are going to go after him. But risk it at your own peril and Porter’s fourth down incompletion sent the Steelers home as winners. Speaking to reporters after the game via Steelers.com, Porter said he knew the ball was coming his way.
“I was,” he told reporters when asked if he expected the Browns to target him.
