While the thought this week was that Pittsburgh Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. would shadow Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase, the Steelers made the decision to put Porter on WR Tee Higgins, who had 14 receptions for 288 yards and a touchdown in his last two games against the Steelers coming into today. Higgins still had a good performance with five receptions for 69 yards and a touchdown, while he also drew a few penalties on Porter, who had four on the day. After the 44-38 Steelers win, head coach Mike Tomlin explained the decision to primarily match up Porter against Higgins.
