‘It’s Gonna Be Spicy’: Steve Smith Sr. Sees Joey Porter Jr.-Stefon Diggs Matchup Creating Fireworks

Though weather conditions might not permit for an air-it-out-style game for the Buffalo Bills Sunday in the Wild Card Round against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the matchup between Buffalo star receiver Stefon Diggs and Steelers’ standout rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr. remains an enticing one to watch.

Porter, who stepped into the starting lineup in Week Eight of the season for the Steelers, has taken on the role of the top cornerback for the Black and Gold, consistently shadowing the opponent’s top receivers each week. He’ll face his toughest test on Sunday in Buffalo against Diggs, one of the premier receivers in football and an elite-level route runner that earned a ton of praise from Steelers’ head coach Mike Tomlin earlier in the week.
