After finally seeing an expanded defensive role, CB Joey Porter Jr. received the highest of marks for his Week Five performance against the Baltimore Ravens. From the site you like only when they confirm your thoughts, Pro Football Focus named Porter the NFL’s highest-graded corner of Week Five, ahead of Monday night’s final matchup.
Per the site, Porter received a 91.4 coverage grade, the top mark of anyone at his position. After barely playing in the first half, the Steelers bumped up his playing time starting late in the third quarter and he finished out the game. Of course, his biggest moment was intercepting Ravens QB Lamar Jackson on an end-zone jump ball, a critical moment to help complete Pittsburgh’s comeback.
