This past weekend, Joey Porter Sr. got to watch Joey Porter Jr. get his first real taste of what the Pittsburgh Steelers-Baltimore Ravens rivalry is all about. The younger Porter grew up around the game and knows what these matchups are all about. But you don’t know it until you live it and until you play it. Though it was a classic Steelers-Ravens outcome, a last-minute win by Pittsburgh, the rivalry has lost some of its luster from its heyday.
Speaking with Arthur Moats and a crowd of Steelers’ fans prior to Sunday’s kickoff at Acrisure Stadium, Porter told the story of the mission then-head coach Bill Cowher gave him before kickoff in one of these games.
