Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. knows WR A.J. Brown got the better of him yesterday—but he also knows, in his mind, that the way the referees officiated the game helped. Unlike in some other games, they allowed for plenty of contact between receivers and defensive backs. And Brown and the Eagles certainly took advantage of that, Porter believes.
“I mean, the refs let them push off”, Chris Adamski quotes Porter as saying for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. “At the end of the day, that’s what it is on the tape. [A.J. Brown is] just one of those guys who you know they aren’t going to call it”.
