It took until the fifth week of the season but the Pittsburgh Steelers finally expanded rookie CB Joey Porter Jr.’s role. So what changed? Porter spoke about the bump in snaps in the second half of Sunday’s win over the Baltimore Ravens, where he picked off the first pass of his career in clutch fashion, an end zone snag that kept the Steelers’ hopes alive.
After the game, Porter told reporters coaches said at halftime his role would change.
“They just told me they were going to give me a little bit more series in the game,” he said via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s YouTube page.
