With three penalties, Pittsburgh Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. got handsy like a prom date in their win over the Washington Commanders last Sunday. His coaches view it as a bug, not the feature. And defensive coordinator Teryl Austin believes it’s an issue he’ll correct.
“He’s gotten better at that,” Austin told reporters Thursday of Porter avoiding flags via a team transcript. “Last week was just not a good week for it. I anticipate that he’ll bounce back and play clean football because he’s been doing a pretty good job of that. Earlier in the year he had a few, and last week it popped up again.
